I recently tried to ship perfume to Japan via USPS only to have it returned to me with a note saying that they will not deliver because it is a prohibited item. I called the local office to confirm. I advised them what their website indicated and forwarded a copy of their website policy information for Japan. They advised that they still would not ship it for me. They advised to file a complaint. I went to their website and input my shipping information and double checked their prohibited and restricted items list. Neither listed perfume. This seems to be a contradition. I've emailed support to inquire but that could take days, maybe weeks.What is the policy of the US Postal Service concerning shipping perfume to Japan?

The reason is that perfume has a high enough alcohol content to be categorized as a flammable/explosive liquid. As a lot of mail goes by air transport, it is prohibited to go on planes. Sorry, but see the below link to see that, yes, unfortunately perfume is on the ';verbotten'; list.What is the policy of the US Postal Service concerning shipping perfume to Japan?
