Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you are permitted to carry detergent powder or pellets in your carry-on luggage. However, any powder-like substance exceeding 12 ounces or 350 ml must be placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening. This ensures that security officers can properly inspect the item without interference from other belongings.
There is no strict quantity limit for detergent powder, but quantities greater than 12 ounces may be subject to additional screening. Security officers might need to open the container to verify the contents. For your convenience, we recommend packing large amounts of non-essential powders in your checked luggage.
Powder-like substances can create complex images on X-ray machines, making it difficult for security personnel to identify the contents. By placing the container in a separate bin, you allow the X-ray to scan the item clearly. This helps minimize the likelihood of manual inspections and speeds up the security process.
Packing large quantities of detergent in your checked baggage is generally more convenient for the traveler. Since large amounts of powder often trigger additional screening, keeping them in checked bags avoids the need for manual checks at the security checkpoint. This allows for a smoother experience while passing through airport security.
