Shipping law guidelines
Postal regulations are the official rules governing mail services, covering what can be sent, how items must be packaged, weight and size limits, and prohibited contents.
These regulations vary by country and are enforced by national postal authorities.
They address matters like postage rates, delivery standards, customs requirements for international mail, and restrictions on hazardous materials.
