Mailing and air-carriage restrictions by item category
Canonical, always-current version: https://referencesource.org/shipping-restrictions-by-class/ Machine-readable: https://referencesource.org/shipping-restrictions-by-class/data.json — this mirror is a point-in-time copy.
- Last verified: 2026-08-10

What item categories may be mailed, and what may be carried by air, with the conditions that apply. The spine is the USPS domestic mailability list (Publication 52, Appendix A) — about 90% of records. Alongside it: UK postal (Royal Mail, Post Office, Parcelforce, Royal Mail Wholesale), the UPU prohibited-articles entries for the US and UK, and about 116 records that are not about mail at all but about US air transport — passenger baggage and air cargo under FAA PackSafe, TSA, IATA and ICAO packing instructions, and 49 CFR. Private couriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL) are not covered. Answers 'can I mail a lighter', 'USPS lithium battery mailing rules', 'can I fly with a power bank' and 'is [item] prohibited or restricted by [carrier]'. The carrier and scope fields on each record say which question it answers: a rule about carry-on baggage is not a rule about mail.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
