To protect the content of your shipment:

• Make sure the packaging you use ensures its integrity
• Wrap fragile items with protective materials (air bubbles, styrofoam)
• Protect sharp items

• Use the factory package in the case that you wish to send electronic apparatuses

• Use unbreakable containers or special wooden packaging should you want to send liquids, in order to avoid leakage

• Use packaging tapes to seal your shipment
• Protect small items using paper

• Wrap CDs and DVDs with a protective material or pack them in their case
• Lastly, use capital and clear letters to write the recipient's address and all information required.

In brief, the items not allowed for transportation are:

• Explosives
• Flammable materials
• Radioactive materials
• Corrosive substances 
• Gases 
• Narcotics 
• Poisons 
• Antiquities 
• Pieces of art

In general, it is prohibited to transport items which run the risk, due to their nature or because of their packaging, of being self-destroyed or of destroying other items or items whose handling and transportation is not accepted by ΙATA.

Notes:

To avoid delivery for transportation of such items, the company reserves the right-being also bound to-check the object it undertakes to handle, and even open it.

If the shipper, for whatever reason, submits such items for shipment, the company on verification of their existence reserves the right to handle the case according to its judgment, including immediate discontinuation of transportation, renouncing any further responsibility; charges are not refunded.

The shipper is always solely responsible for any damage possibly affecting persons or other items from a false content declaration.

The charge of every shipment depends on the combination of size and weight (IATA volumetric calculation).
