unattached to prevent accidental operation in the package.<br></p><p></p> <h3> Perishable and infective biological matter </h3> <ul><li>Due to the changes in air pressure experienced during transport by air, it must be ensured that if substances are transported in sealed ampoules or stoppered glass, their containers are of sufficient strength to withstand the changes in air pressure.</li></ul> <h3> Fragile objects </h3> <ul><li>Glass, porcelain and other fragile objects must be packaged in metal, wooden, plastic or strong cardboard boxes and stuffed with paper, shavings or other protective material which prevents friction or collision between objects, or objects and the wall of the container during transport. </li></ul><p></p> <h3> Liquids and substances that easily run </h3> <ul><li>Liquids, oils and fats that melt may only be posted packed in double containers provided that they do not ferment quickly or explode (such items are excluded from transport by post). These substances must be placed in hermetically sealed containers (as internal packaging), which in turn must be packed in a metal, an appropriately strong wooden, a durable plastic, or a good quality corrugated card covering. An absorbent material that is able to absorb the whole quantity of liquid, oil or fat (e.g. sawdust, cotton wool) must be placed between the inner container and the outer covering.</li><li>Substances need not be placed in double containers provided hermetically sealed strong galvanised sheet steel or strong and non-breakable plastic containers (canisters) are used as covering. Liquids may only be placed in plastic containers so that a space to a depth of 4 cm from the mouth of the container remains empty. Plastic containers must have suitable handles.</li><li>Postage is only possible as a fragile parcel to be thus handled.</li></ul> <h3> Greasy substances that do not melt easily </h3> <ul><li>Greasy substances that do not melt easily (e.g. ointments, soft soaps, resins) must be placed in a box, bag, plastic film or parchment paper as an inner covering, then packed in a wooden box, metal container or container made of another resistant thick material as a secondary container.</li><li>Butter, cheese, margarine may also be posted in multi-layered parchment paper on the inside and a cardboard box on the outside, then the whole wrapped in paper. Postage may be by parcel or letter post. <br></li></ul> <h3> Substances from the human body </h3> <ul><li>Secretions and substances originating from the human body (liquids, tissue) for test purposes addressed to testing institutions (laboratories) and doctors may be posted in the standard packaging for this purpose or as follows:</li><li>Secretions and test material originating from the human body may be posted as a letter or parcel. The cover of the item – and with parcels the accompanying letter as well – must be marked “Substance originating from human body”. If the substance comes from a person suffering or suspected of suffering from an infectious disease, the above mentioned inscription must be “Infectious substance for testing”.</li><li>Non-infectious secretions must be placed in a strong-sided plastic or other non-breakable container and its opening hermetically sealed. An adhesive tape not made of paper must be affixed to the sealing mechanism so that it cannot open due to pressure or collision. This inner container must be placed in a box made of cardboard or other similar resistant material, which must be stuck down and tied round for postage.</li></ul> <h4> In order to ensure the safe transport of infectious substances, the multiple packaging systems below must be used: </h4> <ul><li>Inner container: a primary, waterproof, impervious container containing the specimen, bearing a label, which must be surrounded by sufficient absorbent material to absorb the entire quantity of liquid in the event of breakage.</li><li>Secondary container: Another durable, waterproof, impervious container which encloses and protects the inner container(s). More than one inner (primary) container may be placed in a secondary container, in which there must be sufficient absorbent material to cushion the primary containers. The data sheet for the specimens must be affixed to the outside of the secondary container.</li><li>Outer container: wooden, metal or plastic, which protects the containers and contents during transport.</li><li>Outer covering: to protect the containers and contents during transport, a box made of stiff paper which is sealed all round with a label.</li><li>The label must have a printed address on it, and additionally the producer of the packaging system, its certification number and type must be marked on the label or the outer covering.</li></ul><p></p> <h3> Ashes of deceased persons </h3> <ul><li>The ashes of a deceased person must be packaged in a waterproof inner container and a protective outer container.</li><li>The outer container must be stuffed with paper, wood shavings or similar material which protects the item from breakage or external impacts during transport.</li><li>The sealed containers must be covered in strong wrapping paper, and the item stuck down and sealed, and tied with string lengthwise and crosswise.</li><li>The cover of the item, and for parcels also the accompanying letter, must be marked “Ashes of deceased person”.</li></ul> <h3> Dead animals </h3> <ul><li>NamPost does not accept dead animals and perishable items as postal items<br></li></ul> <h3> Prohibited Articles </h3> <p><a href="https://www.nampost.com.na/uploads/documents/b6978b8d2880d85a729fe5985d9512fbedff702d.pdf" target="_blank">Dangerous goods are prohibited in international postal services </a></p> <p>Prohibited Articles</p><p></p> </div> <div class="side hidden-xs col-sm-5 col-lg-4"> <div class="well"> <div class="side-heading">Interaction Portal</div> <p>Do you have a complaint or a simple enquiry?
