LBC strictly prohibits firearms, ammunition, explosives, fireworks, flammable liquids (gasoline, lighter fluid), loose lithium batteries, real currency/cash, bullion, illegal drugs, and perishable uncured meat. Tenders containing prohibited goods are rejected during counter inspection or confiscated by airport security.

Commercial airline cargo regulations ban aerosol sprays, perfumes with alcohol, and loose power banks.
Paper currency and bullion coins cannot be mailed; use LBC Instant Remit for money transfers.
Counter tellers conduct visual inspections before sealing all packages.
Attempting to ship illegal contraband is a criminal offense reported to law enforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send a mobile phone with a built-in battery?

Yes, if the battery is contained within the device and meets aviation safety limits. Loose power banks and uninstalled spare lithium batteries are strictly prohibited on air express.

Can I send perfumes or colognes via LBC?

Alcohol-based perfumes cannot travel via commercial air express due to flammability. However, select sea cargo routes accept sealed consumer cosmetics.
