E-liquids used in e-cigarettes contain hazardous substances (nicotine liquid compounds, flavoring liquids, flammable liquids). However, they are accepted provided they are declared using the exempted flow option.

No dangerous goods are permitted for international shipment when sent by Colissimo, by air or by road, with the exception of batteries and under certain conditions.
Products whose import or circulation is prohibited in the destination country are prohibited*.

Only the batteries listed below, inserted in equipment that is switched off, may be transported by road or air:

• By parcel: maximum 4 batteries or 2 lithium-ion batteries UN3481 (≤20 Wh/battery, ≤100 Wh/battery pack, ≤5 kg in total).
• By parcel: maximum 4 UN3091 lithium metal batteries (≤1 g lithium/battery, ≤2 g lithium/battery pack, ≤5 kg total).
• The packaging must be sturdy and the contents must be properly secured.

When all conditions regarding packaging, insertion into equipment, number, and energy are met, the specific “lithium batteries” label is not required on the package.
Please note: since September 2025, the combined shipment of battery-powered electrical/electronic devices with liquids, aerosols, or gels (LAG) is no longer permitted in international air mail traffic (to/from overseas territories and to/from international destinations). It is MANDATORY to separate the goods and make two separate shipments. 

Mobile phones containing damaged or defective batteries cannot be returned via the Colissimo network.
