USPS Mailing Restrictions: What You Can’t Ship In New York State

When it comes to mailing out a letter or a package, we don't think much about the fact that there could be restrictions for some items, or that they are outright prohibited.

I mean, really, we all have a handle on something like this, right? Some of these bans or restrictions should be a no-brainer, but not everyone got the memo if you what I mean.

I checked the United States Postal Service website to find out just what is not accepted to mail out, and what items have rules and restrictions mailing from or to New York, Pennsylvania, and well, the rest of the country for that matter.

Here's what I found from the United States Postal Service.

Domestically Items That Are Probited To Mail Or Ship Through The USPS

Air Bags

Ammunition

Explosives

Gasoline

Liquid Mercury

Marijuana (medical or otherwise); hemp/CBD is allowed, but restricted
