- Additional insurance: If you need to insure items worth more than £500, you'll need to purchase additional insurance from a third-party provider.
- Proof of value: You'll need to provide proof of value for the item(s) being sent, such as a receipt or an appraisal.

- Restricted items: Certain items are prohibited or restricted from being sent to Belarus, such as certain types of food, plants, and animals. Check the Royal Mail's website for a list of prohibited and restricted items.
- Delivery times: Delivery times to Belarus can vary, and the Royal Mail estimates that it may take 10-20 working days for items to arrive.
To purchase insurance for your item, you'll need to:
- Check the box "Insure my item" on the Royal Mail's online tracking page or at a post office.
- Pay the additional insurance fee (currently £2.50 for items up to £500).

Please note that the Royal Mail's insurance policy is subject to certain terms and conditions, and you should review these before sending your item. Additionally, it's always a good idea to check with the recipient in Belarus to ensure that they are aware of the item's arrival and any potential customs or import restrictions.
