Can I bring this on a plane?
OK so i'm 15 and i'm in spain about to go back home. So there's this thing called Snus. I think its called Dip in america and you have to be 18 to buy it. Can i bring it in my hand baggage on the airport? I bought it for my dad btw
Airport security is concerned about safety risks, not underaged smokers or dippers. If you only take one package, you can put it on your customs form and there .probably won't be any problem unless it's illegal to bring to the US, like Cuban cigars.
You may have an issue at Customs when you return to the US since you are underage. You probably will not have trouble at your departure airport.
Getting it on the plane won't be an issue, your issue is when you arrive in the US.
Because this is considered a tobacco product "snuff" and therefore is subject to regulation by the US Customs. As such you can bring in 1 roll of snuff duty free, after that you must pay additional duty (taxes) on it. This also must mean that you must declare you have the quantity you have so they can verify you don't owe duty.
If you fail to declare this to US Customs and they discover it, you can get in some very serious trouble. However, if you do declare it since you are legally not allowed to have it you could also get in some (less major) trouble for being a minor in possession of tobacco.
If this is truly for your dad (LOL) it is unlikely you are traveling without an adult. Just give it to an adult you are traveling with, have them declare it and you are then good to go.
Airplane security and Airline staff are not the Tobacco age police.
They DO NOT CARE.
When you get off your plane the Customs Officers waiting for you are the AGE Police.
If you show it to them they might take it away from you.
If you try to hide it and they find it in a search then you have a different issue of smuggling.
Not something you want in your travel history.
DAD can buy his own if he wants some.Thousands of other souvenirs you can pick from that do not have legal restrictions.
At age 15 this is not an item that you should be legally able to buy in Spain.
- Am I allowed to bring a shampoo bottle onto a plane or no? In 4 days I'm going back to Florida, going on Jetblue. I'm bringing a backpack and a luggage but I'm gonna check in my luggage so I'm just carrying my bag. Am I allowed to put like a 8 inch shampoo bottle into my backpack (I'm gonna wear my backpack inside the airport).

- Can I bring 2 luggage? I'm flying from New Zealand to Philippines. I got an 8 hour layover in Singapore, and I'm on Economy Class with Singapore Airlines. I never done bringing 2 checked-in luggage. I'm wondering if there's an extra charge with that without over weighing the limit.
