Can i mail a UV water disinfection system to Mexico?
I know that UV lamps are *technically* radioactive...but is this enough to cause a small, home water disinfection/filtration system to be classified as "Radioactive Material" by customs agents? I have a customer in Mexico who is interested in buying one from me. Thanks in advance!

I would think you would be fine if you just boxed it up and did not label it as anything other than a water filtration system.
If you walked into the post office and said "hey this package contains trace amounts of radioactivity. Will you take it?" They are going to turn you away. Same thing at customs in Mexico. If you identify it as radioactive they will turn it away.

Your best bet would go to UPS and ask. OR try and mail what can they do return it or ask for a large tax? Just be honest about what you are shipping!
