  4. Restrictions: There are some restrictions on sending stamps and other mail to certain countries. For example:
    • Some countries have specific regulations or restrictions on the types of mail that can be sent to them.
    • Some countries may not accept certain types of mail, such as large or heavy items.
    • Some countries may have specific requirements for customs forms or declarations.
  5. Delivery times: Delivery times for international mail can vary significantly depending on the destination and the service used. Airmail services typically take 3-7 days, while surface mail services can take 20-30 days or more.
