Keep in mind that many goods fall into the category of dangerous goods (objects or substances that may pose a risk to health, safety, property or the environment) and things are different for them. Also, some items, although not flammable in themselves, can contribute to the ignition of other materials and as such are also classified as dangerous goods. Here are some examples - perfume, aftershave, nail polish - flammable; aerosols, e.g. hairsprays and deodorants - contain compressed gases; electronic devices containing lithium batteries, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, pose a risk of fire if the batteries are damaged.
Check below (in the first link) whether your goods fall into one of the dangerous goods classes. Also keep in mind that there are many regulatory bodies that control and manage the transport of dangerous goods, and all this makes it particularly difficult to stay informed and of course comply with the cargo rules.
