Most dangerous goods are forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. There are a few exceptions for some personal items such as toiletries, medicines, and assistive devices. Check the chart below to see which common dangerous goods are allowed in checked and/or carry-on baggage on your flight and which are not. Remember, this is just a listing of common dangerous goods; if you don’t see your item here it doesn’t mean it’s allowed in baggage.

Removed batteries must be carried in accordance with the provision for Batteries, Lithium  \nLithium metal (non-rechargeable) batteries are limited to 2 grams of lithium per battery. Lithium ion (rechargeable) batteries are limited to a rating of 100 watt hours (Wh) per battery. With airline approval, passengers may also carry up to two spare larger lithium ion batteries (101–160 Wh) or Lithium metal batteries (2-8 grams).  \nElectronic smoking devices when carried by passengers or crewmembers must be carried on one’s person or in carry-on baggage. Electronic smoking devices are battery powered and have a heating element that vaporizes liquid. Passengers are required to take effective measures for preventing accidental activation of the heating element of the device when transporting the devices.  \nThe first step would be to get a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each product. In the SDS, section 14, you can find the transportation information (i.e. if the product is a regulated dangerous good). Passengers are not allowed to carry-on or check regulated dangerous goods on passenger aircraft. There are some exceptions for dangerous goods on our PackSafe website, but regulated dangerous goods are not addressed in any of the exceptions. That means regulated products don’t fly. If they are not regulated, then they are allowed.  \nSmart bags can be checked once the battery is removed. Baggage location tracking devices (or “bag tags”) powered by lithium batteries are allowed in checked bags if devices do not exceed 0.3 grams (lithium metal) or 2.7 watt hours (Lithium).  \nNot allowed in Checked Bags  \nNot allowed in Checked Bags  \nThe first step would be to get a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each product.
