15.5 Restrictions on certain goods

There are restictions on imports and exports on certain goods, such as food, drugs, weapons and other dangerous objects, endangered animals and plants. In some cases a special permit may be required and the rules may differ depending on whether the goods are brought from within or outside the EU/EEA. 

As a general rule, embassies, career consulates and international organisations and their staff, need to follow special rules pertaining to certain goods, whereas certain restrictions may not apply by virtue of the Vienna Conventions or an applicable host country agreement. For more information:
