Spike in prohibited items Postal services around the world have lists of prohibited items, and Hongkong Post is no exception. All airmail items undergo X-ray screening at the Air Mail Centre, which has seen a sharp rise in the number of parcels with suspected prohibited items. There were 38 cases in January, but 337 cases in August. Most were electronic devices containing lithium batteries - or perfume.
Hongkong Post's Senior Manager for International Mail, Andy Lui, said many people believe it is okay to send an electronic device by airmail, because that is how they may have received it from the manufacturer or distributor. But most companies ship by cargo with specially designed packaging, he noted.
"If lithium batteries are not specially packed, it may cause a short circuit and fire on the plane. It is very dangerous," Mr Lui said.
If a sender is a repeat offender who regularly mails dangerous or prohibited items, Hongkong Post will issue a warning letter - or transfer the case to the law enforcement agencies. может
