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
