Posting liquids (non flammable) overseas?

booter

I'm sure the answer will be on the boards somewhere, but I can't find it I normally sell internationally but I'm in the process of listing some unwanted toiletries - shower gel, moisturiser etc. All are 100ml or less and all are non flammable. Should I be offering international postage? Are there any potential problems I should be aware of or any countries I should exclude because of any problems with liquids? Any help would be welcome!

Many countries (Germany is one) do not allow certain beauty items to be imported- it is worth checking- but I have no idea where!

If you are using the Royal Mail International service, they publish what may/may not be transmitted here

A lot of the restrictions will depend on the alcohol content if any.

This is the page 'SleeplessinScandinavia' was referring to:

and there is a more detailed country by country guide on the UPU website:

Thanks all - what a minefield! It looks like I'll be limiting these to UK only then Otherwise I could spend hours trawling through specific restrictions for specific countries and tbh I cba!:D

Oh bother - i've just gone to revise my listing, (yes, I jumped the gun a bit and listed one item before I thought of questioning the postage problems ) but someone's made a bid so I can't remove the international postage Any ideas (apart from specifying in the description that it's UK postage only - which will probably be ignored anyway?)
