Use country and weight estimates to plan an international parcel after outbound postal service resumed. Confirm the current tariff, weight limit, customs forms, routing, and delivery option with Syrian Post before paying.
Syrian Post resumed international parcel mail through the Universal Postal Union (UPU) network and the postal exchange office at Damascus International Airport. Calculator values are planning estimates that must be confirmed at the branch.
The calculator provides planning estimates in New Syrian Pounds (1 New SYP = 100 Old SYP); confirm the current tariff at the branch.
Exchange Office: Dubai Hub | Via Damascus Int Airport
💡 Planning estimates only; confirm the current tariff, limits, forms, and delivery options with Syrian Post before paying. The USD conversion is an unofficial market reference (~141.4 New SYP/USD, checked 2026-10-21).
Take your goods in an open container to the central post office in your governorate. Parcels must undergo postal and customs inspection before final sealing.
Fill in the required number of international customs declaration forms (usually 2 to 4 copies). Clearly state the contents, quantity, value, and recipient address.
Pay shipping fees in cash (SYP). You will receive an official receipt with a UPU standard international tracking code (e.g. CP...SY) to track transit to delivery.
Syrian Post strictly enforces international air safety regulations and customs rules. The following items must NOT be mailed:
Banknotes of any currency, coins, gold bars, and unworked precious stones are strictly banned in international post.
Loose lithium-ion batteries and standalone power banks are prohibited by aviation safety regulations on mail cargo.
Fresh food, unpasteurized dairy, cooked dishes, and unsealed food items cannot be accepted. Factory-sealed dry food may be subject to destination import rules.
Alcohol-based perfumes, compressed spray cans, lighter fluid, and combustible chemicals are banned on air transit.
Medicines require official medical reports and ministry approvals. Narcotics and restricted pharmaceutical compounds are strictly prohibited.
Original sovereign passports and national identity cards are subject to strict diplomatic security protocols and should not be sent in standard parcels.
Passengers and airport drivers frequently arrange luggage transport between Damascus, Beirut, and Amman. However, carrying sealed parcels, packages of unknown content, or goods belonging to third parties across international borders carries serious customs liability and security risks.
Use an official postal channel for eligible documents and personal goods so the shipment enters the applicable postal and customs process. Confirm tracking and insurance options for the service purchased.
Drivers on 3balad should inspect any personal luggage before accepting it and decline transporting sealed envelopes or untrusted parcels.
Official postal processing reduces the risks associated with carrying third-party parcels, but customs may still inspect, refuse, return, tax, or seize prohibited or incorrectly declared goods.
