Following recent incidents with improvised explosive devices, the Secretary of State for Transport has issued a directive prohibiting the transportation by air of ink or toner cartridges, to any destination inside or outside the UK. This directive comes into effect immediately. To avoid any doubt, an ink or toner cartridge is defined as ‘a cartridge weighing more than 500g designed for use in printing equipment such as printers, photocopiers and fax machines’.
If you sell ink and toner cartridges, you should:
- Amend your listing, eg to include information about these restrictions
- Update your delivery service in the postage & packaging section of the ‘sell your item’ form
- Contact your delivery company to obtain up-to-date information on delivery services available for ink and toner cartridges
