None. If you can't find it locally, you can get it shipped from Amazon easily. The only things we get shipped are some cleaning supplies that we really like, and some really particular things (like natural peanut butter). Also, there is a small exchange in the embassy - so things like common medicines are easy to get there. But really, you can get almost everything locally. - Mar 2017
