Do not send ham as a Christmas gift to Russia

Do not send ham as a Christmas gift to Russia

In order for your Christmas gifts to be delivered in time, it is important to know the import rules for each country. If you send Christmas schnapps to Finland, it will unfortunately not reach the recipient. If you want to send Christmas roses to Australia you had better send plastic ones, or else they will not get there.

Pan Nordic Logistics (PNL), owned by Norway Post and Post Denmark, helps Swedish companies to send parcels and pallets to companies and individuals all around the world. The last day to send Christmas parcels with us is, in most cases, the 14th of December. (Please see www.pannordic.com for the last day to send Christmas parcels in each country.)

Different rules of import in different countries
If you would like to send Christmas trees to New Zealand you are not allowed to do it. Neither if you like to send living bees to Denmark or Christmas cigars to Portugal. Did you also know that you are not allowed to send Christmas stamps to Canada, or lottery tickets to Italy. And do not even consider sending Christmas ham to Russia. It will not even cross the border.

These rules do not only apply to companies sending Christmas gifts to their customers. Also individuals who want to send Christmas gifts to relatives need to know the current rules or else Santa will not be able to deliver the parcels on time.
