The Republic of Moldova is a small country located in Eastern Europe between Romania and Ukraine. Despite a tumultuous recent history since its independence from Soviet Union in 1991, Moldova still enjoys a consistent tourism industry that revolves primarily around the country's beautiful natural landscapes and historical ruins and architecture. The wine industry is also strong in Moldova; the country is home to Cicova, one of the largest wine cellars in the world.
If you are planning a trip to Moldova or you have a need to ship internationally to Moldavia, there are some limitations to be aware of. The United States Postal Service outlines the following prohibited items:
- Bank notes
- Explosives and pyrotechnic products
- Perishable infectious or noninfectious biological substances.
- Printed materials that are contrary to public order (obscene or immoral).
- Radioactive materials.
- Software or technical devices used to intercept information.
The following restrictions are also in place:
- Medical products used in medical treatment are subject to prior authorization granted by the Ministry of Health or by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
These stipulations are standard for international shipping and should not interfere with your ability to send goods to Moldova. These regulations are designed for safety purposes and hopefully do not discourage you from transporting items internationally.
