Here are some popular items that are almost always considered Dangerous Goods, but many buyers are not aware: waterless hand sanitizer gel, nail enamel and polish, perfumes and fragrance mist.

Lithium Ion batteries, the kind used to power laptops and cellphones, can also either be dangerous goods or regulated by other restrictions if they are to be shipped without being installed in the items they are meant to power. This essentially means that shipping a cellphone should not be a problem, but shipping a replacement battery for that cellphone may be regulated or prohibited based on the destination country and carrier selection.
