Prohibited and Restricted Items

Here’s what you need to know about restricted and prohibited items.

You can review the latest prohibited and restricted items on our website here: [link].

Before ordering and requesting shipment, we recommend checking the restrictions in advance, as they may vary depending on the destination country and shipping carrier.

Please note that customs regulations differ by country. Delivered Korea does not provide detailed guidance on customs clearance. For customs-related inquiries, please contact your local customs office directly.


Even if certain items are legal in your country, they may still be restricted by international shipping regulations or parcel carriers.

Drugs, narcotics, and illegal substances are strictly prohibited and cannot be shipped under any circumstances.

If a prohibited item is received:

  • We will contact you with further instructions

  • Return shipping costs will be your responsibility

  • Illegal items may be reported to law enforcement authorities


Some items may be shipped only if the required documents are provided, such as:

  • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)

  • FDA approval (if applicable)

  • Drop ball test report

You are responsible for preparing all required documents and handling customs clearance directly.
