Same here. I can easily imagine policy being "We're trying to avoid embarrassments, and also we've had incidents where people who should never have been in the service used the diplomatic pouch to smuggle drugs. The only things we'll put the official seal on are cases carried by our official couriers, and they have to be inspected by our security people at both ends of the trip."

Which is no problem if you're a classic cultural-attache-hem-hem, but a problem if you're a junior trade official trying to get their superhero mask and utility belt into Latveria.
