• the packages must have an indication in CAPITAL letters "HUMANITARIAN AID" or "ГУМАНИТАРНАЯ ПОМОЩЬ"
• In CN22/23customs the value of such private parcels must be indicated as no more than 50 Euros
• senders can send food/ medicine/ clothes, but cannot send alcohol / weapons via post.

Minister for Postal Services, the Hon Vijay Daryanani MP said, “Yesterday at the Ukraine March for Peace, I was able to speak to the organisers and concerned members of the public and they asked if the allowance of free postage on parcels could be increased. So far we have received numerous enquiries at the Post Office counters and 7 shipments have been sent. I am now pleased that after discussing this matter with our international postal delivery partners, we have managed to increase the weight allowance to 10kgs which is the weight limit allowance for transit parcels from Gibraltar to Ukraine. We will keep on helping in any way we can.”
