Warning
10 things you cannot buy via a Taobao agent
Agents ship internationally, so anything restricted in air/postal transport is off the table.
- Aerosol spray paints and primers
- Butane torches and gas cartridges
- Lithium batteries (most lines)
- Flammable thinners and lacquer solvents
- Magnets above strength thresholds
- Knives and cutting tools on restricted lines
- Perfumes and alcohol-based liquids
- Compressed gas items
- Some batteries inside tools
- Anything the destination country bans
Buy spray cans and thinners locally; everything else ships fine.
