Shipments the content, external form, transportation, or storage of which violates a statutory prohibition or a prohibition by a public authority, in particular – but without limitation – regulations regarding export, import, or customs law of the countries of origin, destination, or transit, or goods for which special equipment (e.g. for temperature-controlled goods), safety precautions or authorizations are required;
Shipments or items the transportation of which is prohibited or is subject to special restrictions under the International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), ADR (European Road Transport Regulation on dangerous goods), or other relevant organizations (“Dangerous Goods”);

Unfranked or insufficiently franked Shipments and Shipments transported or posted with the intention of fraudulently obtaining the transport service without paying for it;
Shipments that contain weapons, especially firearms, or parts thereof, imitation weapons or ammunition; and
Shipments that contain obscene or pornographic articles.
Sender warrants that the Shipment does not contain any Prohibited Goods and has been correctly packaged and is appropriately protected. Notwithstanding any other rights of UrShipper, Sender shall indemnify UrShipper from any liability for third-party claims resulting from the transportation or delivery of Prohibited Goods or other inadmissible or unlawful goods. The contractual liability of UrShipper for its own conduct and that of its agents or subcontractors remains unaffected.
Sender undertakes to indemnify UrShipper promptly upon first demand against any loss or damages arising out of any alleged third-party claims and any other loss or damage that UrShipper incurs as a result of the transportation or delivery of the Prohibited Goods. The indemnity by Sender shall also cover the expenses incurred by UrShipper in connection with the provision of information, confiscation by the customs authorities, or border seizure that are required by law or have been ordered by a court or a government authority.
If a Shipment contains Prohibited Goods or the Shipment – because of its nature (size, format, weight, contents, etc.) or for other reasons – does not comply with Section 4(2) above or with the other provisions of these GTC, UrShipper shall be entitled to:
Refuse acceptance of the Shipment;
If the Shipment has already been handed over, return it or store it until its collection; or
Transport the Shipment without notifying Sender and, if necessary and/or required by law, to choose a different route (e.g. by road and sea instead of by air freight as planned) and invoice Sender for any additional costs incurred as a result. UrShipper shall also be entitled to exercise the rights referred to in the paragraph above if it suspects that the Shipment contains Prohibited Goods or that there are any breaches of contract and Sender fails to comply with UrShipper's request to supply information.
UrShipper is not obliged to check whether a Shipment contains Prohibited Goods. However, UrShipper shall be entitled to open a Shipment and to inspect the contents if it suspects that the Shipment contains Prohibited Goods. In addition to the foregoing, UrShipper has the right to open and inspect a Shipment without notice for security or customs or other valid reasons. Further, UrShipper carries out regular checks in accordance with the applicable statutory aviation security regulations and if goods that may not be transported by air are found, or if there is reason to suspect that these goods ought not to be transported by air, UrShipper shall be entitled to transport the goods by land or sea, notwithstanding its other rights.
5. Customs Clearance and Customs Regulations
All Shipments that cross international borders must be cleared through customs. Sender, on their own behalf and/or on behalf of Receiver, is fully responsible for providing all documentation and information required for the clearance, and for representing and warranting that all statements and information it provides relating to the goods and the clearance of the Shipment are and continue to be true, correct, and complete.
Sender is responsible at their own expense for making sure goods shipped internationally are acceptable for entry into the destination country and comply with all licensing or permitting requirements when applicable.
UrShipper does not assume any liability for the content of the Shipment and the accompanying documents, even if these are prepared by or on behalf of UrShipper upon Sender’s request. Sender remains solely responsible for all risks and consequences of the export regulations at the origin and import regulations at the destination country. This shall apply independently of the grounds on which the dispatch is restricted or prohibited, either by applicable statutory provisions or is restricted or excluded under these GTC or other contractual provisions. Sections 4(3) remain unaffected.
When Shipments are held by customs or other agencies due to incorrect or missing documentation, we may attempt to notify the Receiver. If local law requires the correct information or documentation to be submitted by the Receiver and the Receiver fails to do so within a reasonable time as we may determine, the Shipment may be considered undeliverable. (See the Undeliverable Shipments section.) If the Receiver fails to supply the required information or documentation, and local law allows Sender to provide the same, we may attempt to notify Sender. If Sender also fails to provide the information or documentation within a reasonable time as we may determine, the Shipment will be considered undeliverable. We assume no responsibility for our inability to complete a delivery due to incorrect or missing documentation, whether or not we attempt to notify the Receiver or Sender.
UrShipper is not responsible for customs clearance delays caused by factors such as insufficient or inaccurate documentation, incorrect declaration by the Sender, examination, inspection, holds, or suspensions imposed by the customs authorities, or non-compliance with all required licenses or permits. The Sender is responsible for providing accurate information and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Sender shall indemnify UrShipper from third-party claims arising from or in connection with violations against the provisions specified in this Section 5.

Should a Shipment be classified as Undeliverable, the following guidelines apply:
If a Shipment is undeliverable for any reason, UrShipper delivery partner may attempt to contact the Receiver, and if the Receiver cannot be reached, UrShipper may contact the Sender to comply with the undeliverable causes including but not limited to clarifications of the address, alternative contacts, detailed information of Shipment contents, proof or purchase, proof of payments, additional documents or paperwork, etc; or for instructions to reroute, abandon, or return the Shipment.
If the Receiver and/or the Sender cannot be contacted within five (5) business days, the Shipment will be returned to Sender, or we may abandon the Shipment to a general order warehouse or a customs bonded warehouse or will dispose of the Shipment if allowed by the customs regulation at the destination country.
If the Receiver's address is found to be incomplete or incorrect, UrShipper delivery partner will attempt to find the correct address by contacting the Receiver, or contacting Sender if the Receiver cannot be reached, and may reattempt to complete the delivery, but UrShipper assumes no responsibility for our inability to complete delivery or for failing to meet our delivery commitment time under such circumstances.
Address change (rerouted due to incorrect address: wrong street, city, postal code, or country) and/or returned to the origin, will be treated as a new Shipment.
