Explosive objects and chemicals

The sale of hazardous and dangerous goods is strictly regulated. Certain goods may not be sent via Posten or other transport companies. Therefore, there are restrictions on the sale of these types of items on Tradera.

Why do we have this rule?

The trade and import of hazardous chemicals is prohibited or regulated by European and national legislation, therefore it is not permitted to sell such products on Tradera. Many transport companies restrict the ability to transport objects that are explosive or highly flammable. It may therefore be prohibited to sell certain such objects on Tradera.
