What to know for Algeria
In Algeria, personal belongings and gifts are allowed in reasonable quantities; beyond that, the Directorate General of Customs may charge duties or ask for a declaration. Avoid several identical items, which may be considered commercial, and include the prescription for any medicine.
In every case, the traveller can check the parcel's contents and refuse it at the handover. Never send cash, medicines without a prescription, prohibited items or products whose origin you don't know.
