TIPS & REMINDERS

Do NOT Send: Flammables; whiskey, wine, beer, or spirits; pork;  fresh fruit or plants; or pornography or anything that could be considered pornography.

Remember that you are sending things to a Muslim country, which has several taboos that troops must stay away from to avoid upsetting the people they are there to help. Taboo iteams include: pork, booze, pornography, and images of women driving, with guns, etc.
