Nicotine pouches are not specifically listed among standard UK hand-luggage prohibitions, but airline, airport and destination-country rules can differ. Keep them in original labelled packaging, carry only a reasonable personal quantity, and check both the carrier and destination rules before travelling. Traditional tobacco snus may be treated differently.
Key facts
- Check airline, airport and destination rules.
- Keep products in original packaging.
- Do not assume tobacco snus and tobacco-free pouches are treated identically.
Before you travel
Review the airline’s restricted-items page and the destination’s customs and nicotine-product rules. Rules can change and transit countries may also matter.
Common misconception
Permission to carry a product through a UK airport does not guarantee that it can be imported into the destination country.
