In the event you need items of this nature to travel, please identify a cargo or freight forwarder can assist in ensuring your items reach their destination safely.

Dangerous goods are not always easy to identify when preparing your checked baggage and carry-on baggage for travel by air. An indication an item could be considered a dangerous good may be a red and black image displayed on the packaging or the item, like those below:

GHS Category 5 symbols

If in doubt, there are several places you can check:

The Dangerous Goods - Travelling Safely page has information on items commonly packed in checked baggage and carry-on baggage.
The Can I pack that? - Dangerous Goods App from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority which can assist in identifying what items can and cannot be taken on an aircraft.
