What You Cannot Ship to the Caribbean — Prohibited Items

Every Caribbean country keeps its own prohibited list, and customs on both ends can open any barrel. These items are refused or seized nearly everywhere:

• Weapons, ammunition and parts — including toy guns that look real in some countries.
• Medicines and supplements meant for resale, and controlled substances of any kind.
• Fuel, gasoline cans with residue, and anything flammable; pressurized spray cans.
• Perishable food without the destination's permits — meat and dairy rules differ sharply by country.
• Plants, seeds and soil without agricultural permits.
• Counterfeit goods — fake branded shoes, bags and electronics are seized as contraband in several countries.
• Right-hand-drive vehicle parts and used tires are restricted in some destinations — ask first.

Beyond the common list, each country protects its own farmers and factories: some restrict used clothing for resale, some restrict appliances, some tax electronics so heavily that shipping them makes no sense. Your destination page and the kit's per-country checklists carry the details that matter.
