Where we have checked the rules, country by country

Every country is listed. For the markets we have researched from primary sources, this says what actually decides whether an order can happen and whether a miss can be put right on arrival. For the rest it says so plainly, rather than guessing.

Regimes checked against each authority on 2026-09-21.
