Hrmmm make sense for an airplane I guess. Thanks for the information. Yeah the rations that include an esbit stove. I wonder how commerce is conducted overseas. Esbit is made in Europe. Maybe they have to be sent container ship.Garron wrote:This is a list of prohibited items not allowed to be posted internationally on the Royal mail website, sadly two items mentioned are quite common in ration packs so it might be them that caused the issue.

Matches - Of any kind, including safety and windproof matches.
If they are French, Spanish or a nation that has hexi stoves in their packs it could be that too as fire lighters are mentioned and they are the same type of thing.

How much is "limited amount" ? I'm sure it'll be a fun adventure trying to dig out how many esbit pieces or FRHs are considered "limited amount".You are not permitted to send items or substances classed as dangerous goods. With certain services, what is known as a limited amount of dangerous goods may be sent. You can get more information on dangerous goods from MSB - Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency.
Definitely fits the description of an FRH and the hydrogen gas it produces. What's that about matches though?Flammable solids
- Spontaneously combustible substances and substances that emit gas on contact with water, e.g. matches
- Nitrocellulose film
- Material that becomes dangerous when wet
