Here’s an overview of the regulations for checking bulk/carried-alcohol (non-original packaging) in luggage according to international aviation standards (in English):
1. Container Restrictions
Liquid Volume: Bulk alcohol (e.g., homemade or repackaged wine/liquor) must be placed in containers ≤ 5 liters (L) per passenger for checked baggage. Containers must be securely sealed to prevent leakage.Prohibited in Carry-On: Bulk liquids exceeding 100 milliliters (mL) are strictly prohibited in carry-on luggage due to international aviation security rules (3-1-1 liquids rule).2. Alcohol Content Limits
Alcohol by Volume (ABV):≤ 24% ABV: Generally permitted without restrictions (e.g., beer, wine).24–70% ABV: May require airline approval and must comply with dangerous goods regulations (e.g., spirits like whiskey, vodka).> 70% ABV: Prohibited for air transport (classified as hazardous material).3. Airline-Specific Rules
Airlines may impose stricter limits. For example:Some carriers restrict total alcohol volume to 5 L per person.Others may ban bulk alcohol entirely (check with your airline in advance).4. Packaging Requirements
Use leak-proof, non-breakable containers (e.g., plastic bottles with tight seals).Wrap containers in cushioning material (bubble wrap) and place them in a sturdy, sealed plastic bag.5. Customs and Import Laws
Check destination country’s alcohol import limits (e.g., duty-free allowances, age restrictions). Exceeding limits may result in taxes or confiscation.Important: Always confirm with your airline and destination country’s customs authority before traveling. Rules vary by region and carrier.
