Prohibited & Restricted Items
Last updated: 8 July 2026
To keep Bazarla safe and lawful, some things may never be listed, and others only under conditions. You are responsible for ensuring what you sell complies with the laws of Mauritius. This list is a guide, not exhaustive — if in doubt, don't list it.
Prohibited — never allowed
- Anything illegal to own, sell, or transfer under Mauritian law.
- Stolen property, or items with a removed/altered serial number.
