CN 22 for WITHIN Europe

Gary123456790

The batteries rule is interesting:

Batteries that are classed as dangerous goods by the latest edition of the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) technical instructions are prohibited. This includes lithium ion/polymer/metal/alloy batteries sent in isolation or with equipment such as mobile phone, digital camera or laptop.

Lead acid batteries (e.g. car batteries) and sealed lead acid batteries are also prohibited.

Alkaline, nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries may only be sent when new and in their original packaging. Please see https://www.royalmail.com/restrictedgoods

I sell items with cheap zinc-chloride batteries in... It isnt listed above so where does that fall?

Which rules? Who's post are you agreeing with?

but there is no where in the EU (or the European Union) that needs a CN22.

Actually there is! See my previous posts that detail which parts of the EU that do require a CN22.

You do appreciate that the EU is the European Union which is very distinct from Europe which is a continent. The countries you list although in Europe are not in the EU therefore do require a CN22 so the rule holds true - if in the EU no CN22.

Why does it say this on the Royal Mail website then...?

You will also need to complete a customs declaration for the following EU destinations:

Channel Islands - Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Herm and Sark
Andorra
Canary Islands
Gibraltar
San Marino
Vatican City State

From what I gather they are part of the EU but are outside of the EU VAT Area for various reasons...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_member_state_territories_and_the_European_Union

e.g. "Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located near the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula and overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, sharing a border with Spain to the north. It is part of the EU..."

Is this dangerous items rule just Royal Mail or will it be universal? I have one of the leaflets at home but I was just curious as I buy perfume online from Boots sometimes (they use a courier) and wondered if they'd still be able to sell it online after the new rules come in?
