Link to the current list of restrictions: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pe.usps.com&#x2F;cpim&#x2F;ftp&#x2F;manuals&#x2F;imm&#x2F;full&#x2F;imm.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pe.usps.com&#x2F;cpim&#x2F;ftp&#x2F;manuals&#x2F;imm&#x2F;full&#x2F;imm.pdf</a><p>A few actual quotes that I&#x27;ve found in just 10 minutes of browsing:<p>San Marino: &quot;Toys not made wholly of wood&quot;<p>Qatar: &quot;Musical greeting cards&quot;<p>Albania: &quot;Extravagant clothes and other articles contrary to Albanians&#x27; taste&quot; (already in the article but I thought the literal quote was even better)<p>The list is a gold mine, it seems every 5th country has some strange restriction
