Any where around the world, to mail paint by air is tricky.

If the paint you intend to mail is water based then it is quite easy. Just be sure the lid is on tight, is well packaged to avoid breakage and the outer package is marked appropriately. It is also best to let your Post office know that your box contains a liquid. They may wish to inspect the liquid before you mail it so don't tape it up until the posty says it is ok!

If your paint contains solvent, is chemically based or contains flammable products, then mailing paint becomes complicated. The package now becomes a Class 3 (Flammable Liquid),DG (dangerous Goods for air freight)

It must be in an approved container, approved inner and outer packaging, be marked correctly with DG symbols and weights. You must also sign a dangerous goods declaration stating what the product is, contains etc. You must provide a MSDS (material safety data sheet) and emergency contact details.

This will cost you and must be done by an approved DG shipper. Have a look in your local yellow pages for freight forwarder or packing agent. They will steer you in the right direction. Most things can be airfreighted, even explosives. But road transport will be cheaper, less paper work, almost as quick and can be packaged with less fuss.

What ever you do, don't lie about the contents of anything you mail on a declaration form. Safety first.....

Good Luck
