International shipping can be tricky. Each country has its own list of dos and don'ts. The last thing you want is for you package to not make it to its destination because you weren't aware of the shipping restrictions. That is why we recommend reading this blog post if you have some international shipping to Luxembourg on your to-do list.
Luxembourg is a country in western Europe, surrounded by Germany, France, and Belgium. Although it is small (about the size of Rhode Island), it has a population of over half a million people. Interestingly enough, Luxembourg has just as many tourists visit each year, or more, than the current population. So perhaps if your travels to Luxembourg left you with a pen pal, or if your company does business in the European Union, you will find yourself shipping to Luxembourg.
Luxembourg does have a list of items it does not allow to be shipped into the country, many of them hopefully obvious. But just to clarify, they do not allow the shipment of firearms, daggers, loaded canes, or other hidden defensive weapons. The also do not allow human remains, live plants and animals, or radioactive material.
Perhaps a less obvious restriction has to do with embellished postcards. They do not allow postcards with fabrics, embroidery, metal, spangles, or similar materials, unless they are packaged in a sealed envelope. Also, Luxembourg is famous for their banks. But they do not allow the shipping of lottery tickets or even printed advertisements or posters for lotteries or sweepstakes.
