Policies

Prohibited items

What cannot be listed on Switgh, what needs extra checks, and what to do if you are unsure.

Last updated October 2026

Not allowed at all

Weapons, ammunition and replicas. Narcotics and unapproved controlled medicines. Counterfeit or replica branded goods. Currency, stolen goods and wildlife products, including ivory.

Hazardous materials, live animals and perishable food are also out of scope for the pilot.

Allowed with checks

Lithium batteries, cosmetics, supplements and some medical devices can be listed only where the vendor can show the item is legal to import and safe to ship.

The vendor is responsible for the paperwork. Switgh may remove a listing that cannot be supported.

If you are unsure

Do not list it, and do not post a request for it. Ask first.

A removed listing is not a penalty for asking a question.
