Unlike restricted goods, which may be transported under specific conditions, prohibited goods are subject to an absolute ban on import, export, or transit – no permit or licence can override this prohibition. Typical examples include illegal narcotics, unlicensed firearms, counterfeit trademarked products, certain hazardous chemicals, and radioactive materials. Freight forwarders and customs agents must refuse such consignments outright; handling them constitutes a criminal offence in most jurisdictions. Prohibition lists vary by country: a good banned in one jurisdiction may be entirely legal in another, making destination-specific verification indispensable.
