Can you take snus on a plane in hand luggage?
What an airline says about snus on board, and why the destination matters.
Short answer
Yes, Finnair states that snus can be carried in carry-on baggage or in the hold of the aircraft. Airlines may apply stricter baggage rules than the airport, so check your own airline. What you may bring into another country is decided by that country's customs authority, not by airport security. This topic is for adults aged 18 and over.
Why
- Finnair states in its customer FAQ that snus can be carried in carry-on baggage or in the hold of the aircraft.
- Swedavia states that airlines may have stricter baggage rules and advises passengers to contact their airline.
- According to the Swedish Transport Agency, questions about what you can bring into another country belong to that country's customs authority.
Details
The airline's baggage page is the place to confirm the terms for your ticket, and the customs rules of the destination decide how much snus you may bring in. See can you take snus abroad for the import side, and what snus is for background.
Tip
Check your airline's baggage page and the customs rules of the destination before you pack snus, especially for non-EU countries. Airport rules are covered in Arlanda and its alternatives.
What may differ
The answer depends on the airline and the country you fly to: airlines may apply stricter rules, and customs in the destination country decide what may be imported.
Common misconception
Snus is not allowed in your hand luggage on a plane.
What actually happens
Finnair states that snus can be carried in carry-on baggage or in the hold, although each airline sets its own terms and each country its own import rules.
