Explosives and chemicals
Selling hazardous chemicals is severely regulated. Some items are not allowed to ship with regular shipping services.
Why do we have this rule?
Trading and importing hazardous chemicals is prohibited or regulated in both European and Swedish law. This is why selling these items is prohibited on Tradera. Most shipping companies limit or prohibit shipping of hazardous materials, explosives or combustibles.
