I couldn't take my bigger bottle of cologne from home on the plane, but can my parents ship it in a package? Is there a law against liquids or anything? Will customs snatch it? Sorry for asking so many questions pertaining to shipping, but I don't know where else to ask.

There won't be a problem because of the liquids, but cologne can be subject to import duty. If you the package is small and is labeled as a gift or moving item you'll probably be ok, but there's always the chance you'll have to pay duties on it.

Can you go into more depth please? I don't know what an import duty is. How much would could it possibly be?
