Learn prohibited items for your shipments to avoid delays with TEALCA's guide on US-Venezuela shipping restrictions.
When packing your boxes or purchasing merchandise online using your international locker, it is absolutely essential to know which items are subject to legal restrictions. Strict trade regulations and security protocols enforced by United States Customs authorities and local Venezuelan customs (SENIAT) strictly prohibit or limit the international transit of specific goods.
To completely avoid intake delays at our Miami logistics hub, customs seizures at port, or unexpected compliance fines, please carefully review our official prohibited items list before submitting your Repacking or Billing requests.
