Pork and pork by-products are NOT allowed to be shipped to Middle East locations. That includes many ‘Slim Jim's' and other packaged meat products; read the label for pork.

Fruit and yeast are not allowed either. Non-perishable foods only. Send small containers of items. Large packages won't stay fresh and are harder to ship. If you can stuff it in your pocket and it's not going to spoil or MELT, it's a good thing to send! Downplay the sugar.
