Note that these are separate from the list of items that are banned from being brought into the UAE. While some of these items can still be brought through check-in, the items in the list compiled by Dubai Customs and Airports are not allowed under any circumstance.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Powders\u00a0<\/b>As of June 30, 2018, the US Transportation Security Administration is changing the rules about taking powders on planes. After this date, any powder-like substances bigger than 350ml\/12oz – about the size of a soda can – should be put in checked baggage and not in hand luggage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Smart luggage\u00a0<\/b>In January 2018, the rules governing smart luggage in the US changed, making it even more important to check the rules with an individual airline before you fly anywhere. Smart bags use lithium batteries to run GPS tracking systems, phone chargers and electronic locks, which have been to linked to fires on planes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Baby foods\u00a0<\/b>You need to be careful with baby foods and check with the governing authority at your destination and departure airports before you travel, or you could get yourself into trouble. The UK government, for example, will allow you to carry formula and cow’s milk in your hand luggage but your baby must be present. The same applies to a baby’s sterilized water, soya milk and baby food.<\/div>\n
