In check-in baggage
Avoid packing foods and beverages in your check-in baggage. Certain foods and beverages have a density that can not easily be read by the screening equipment. Packing these items in your check-in baggage will result in your luggage being opened by security for inspection.


In carry-on baggage
The following items can be taken aboard your flight in your carry-on baggage:

• Canned foods and food items that are not spillable.
• Snacks and candy in factory-sealed bags or resealable containers.

There are restrictions on liquids, gels and aerosols in your carry-on baggage. For more information click here.


Restricted items when travelling to the USA
When travelling towards the USA, you have to comply with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

USDA, APHIS, places limits on agricultural items brought into the United States from foreign countries because many items can harbor foreign animal or plant pests and diseases that could seriously damage America’s crops, livestock, pets, and the environment.

APHIS requires that travelers entering the United States from a foreign country declare all: Fruits Vegetables Plants and plant products Meat and meat products Animals, birds, and eggs.

Your declaration may be oral, written, or both and must cover all items carried in your baggage and hand luggage. If you are returning from abroad, you will be given a Customs Declaration form on which to declare your agricultural products. You will also be asked to indicate whether you have visited a farm or ranch outside the United States.

APHIS officers inspect passenger baggage for undeclared agricultural products. Failure to declare any items may result in delays and fines of up to $1,000. Agricultural products of U.S. origin, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, and birds taken out of the United States, cannot always be reentered into the country. These items should be declared upon returning. Consult in advance with APHIS inspectors.

Food Products (Prepared)
You may bring bakery items and certain cheeses into the United States. The APHIS web site features a Travelers Tips section and Game and Hunting Trophies section that offers extensive information about bringing food and other products into the country. Many prepared foods are admissible. However, almost anything containing meat products, such as bouillon, soup mixes, etc., is not admissible. As a general rule, condiments, vinegars, oils, packaged spices, honey, coffee and tea are admissible. Because rice can often harbor insects, it is best to avoid bringing it into the United States.

Some imported foods are also subject to requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
