Ok, my sister was a little bored at work the other day, and since she works in a post office, she decided to pass the time by reading up on import restrictions around the world. So here is a list of some of the more... unusual things that you cannot import into various countries.
AFGHANISTAN: Ladies handbags; Toys; Fine cloth BENIN: Gramophone records CANADA: Contraceptive literature CHINA: Bicycles; Cameras CUBA: Maps; Binoculars; Electronics ECUADOR: Straw hats; Erasers GREECE: Snuff GUATEMALA: Used hessian sacks INDONESIA: Pirated goods IRAN: Used razors IRAQ: Walkie talkies UK: Horror comics UGANDA: Japanese shaving brushes TUNISIA: Footwear SWITZERLAND: Miniature spying devices SOUTH AFRICA: Fly paper ST.
