It is true that e-commerce is bound to ship the product to anyone, in any volume, with any price tag, and to any country or region. Unfortunately, the utopian conditions are not applicable in the case of each product sold online.
Shipping carried out through different routes such as by land, by air, and by sea. The charges of shipping applied differently by the shipping providers and depend on several factors.
Countries and regions have several legal and geographical rules for the transportation of goods and permissions for the services. Moreover, various promos and offers for free shipping add complications into defining the shipping rules for an e-commerce merchant and technical abilities of the storefront.

Advantages of Mconnect Shipping Restrictions Extension for Magento 2
Some distinct benefits of the extensions listed below.
Makes shipping legal and cost-effective:
The international shipping and transportations have several legal and political obstacles. Therefore, online merchants have to put restrictions on those selected countries or states for delivery and transport of the goods.
The extension helps to impose those restrictions and display a comprehensive error message when shipping applied for an order to deliver in those restricted areas.
Restrict shipping of non-standard goods:
We know shipping very small and low-priced items render costly attempts. Similarly delivery of too heavy goods proves the costly affair. In both the cases, extension offers options to put limits and prohibits shipping.
Restrict delivery to the long distance regions:
Charges for long-distance shipping are high and maybe not under the shipping thresholds based on production costs. It helps to impose restrictions in those cases.
Effect of Discounts and Taxes on free shipping:
Free shipping when applied on the threshold of an amount of order value, discounts and taxes can reduce the total after deduction. In such cases, the extension applies the restrictions and display an error message accordingly.
