(1) Prior to the conclusion of the transport contract, the sender shall be obliged to declare whether the shipment contains items
excluded under the provisions set forth in (2) (“excluded items”). Deutsche Post hereby declares that it shall not enter into any
contracts concerning the transport of excluded items. Counter employees, mail carriers, drivers and other, non-managerial employees of Deutsche Post and other vicarious agents are not authorized to conclude contracts concerning the transport of shipments containing excluded items. Deutsche Post only accepts that transport contracts shall be concluded by the handover of items by or on behalf of the sender and their acceptance into the care of Deutsche Post or a company commissioned by Deutsche Post (posting or pick-up) if the
shipment does not contain excluded items. The sender may not construe the acceptance of shipments containing excluded items as an acceptance of his offer to conclude a transport contract. Any provisions diverging from the present GT&C may only be agreed by executive employees and in writing. Any General Terms and Conditions of the sender that are to the contrary are hereby expressly contradicted.
(2) Excluded items are:
1. Items whose content, exterior design, transport or storage violates a legal or official prohibition, in particular statutory export, import or customs provisions of the countries of origin, destination or transit, or which require special facilities (e.g. for temperature-controlled goods), safety precautions or permits; these include items or goods whose transport is prohibited
according to the UPU Acts;
2. Items whose contents or exterior consistency could injure or infect persons or cause material damage;
3. Items containing live animals, animal carcasses or parts thereof, body parts or mortal remains of persons, with the exception of invertebrates such as queen bees and insects intended as animal feed provided the sender takes all precautions necessary to ensure that the
animals are transported safely, without any harm and without necessitating any special handling.
4. Items containing narcotics or intoxicants;
5. Items whose transport and/ or storage is subject to provisions concerning dangerous goods; this also applies to all those goods which
are not completely unrestricted according to the IATA and ICAO dangerous goods regulations in the versions valid at the time;
6. Items with a useable value of over ?25,000; the limitations on liability as per Section 6 shall remain unaffected by this limit;
7. Items that contain money or other means of payment, precious metals, jewellery, clocks/ watches, precious stones or other articles of
value, or securities for which no stoppage or public notice and replacement procedure can be carried out in the event of damage.
Exceptionally, some particularly valuable items are allowed, but only where sent by the International insured special service and specified in the brochure “Extrawünsche einfach erfüllt: Mit Zusatzleistungen International” (International value added services):

or with these GT&C, Deutsche Post shall be entitled,

sender refuses to provide information when requested to do so by Deutsche Post on suspicion of excluded goods, Deutsche Post hereby
declares that it shall challenge any transport contract that may have come into being on grounds of willful deceit. Deutsche Post is not
obliged to inspect goods excluded as per (2) above; however, it is entitled to open and inspect items upon suspicion that they may contain excluded goods. The sender may not derive any rights pertaining to the possible conclusion of a transport contract, the handling, the charge due, liability etc. from the acceptance and transport without objection of his item, even if he has marked the item to indicate that, by virtue of its nature, it falls under the provisions of (2) or (3), or if he has indicated the presence of excluded items in any
