Après 48 heures d’absence, les limites canadiennes dépendent du type et du volume d’alcool déclaré.
BAGGAGE · GLASS · ALCOHOL
Large liquid bottles normally travel in checked baggage unless they qualify under duty-free rules. Good protection must address both breakage and leakage.
Cabin or checked baggage?
| Bottle | Usual option | Check |
|---|---|---|
| More than 100 ml purchased before security | Checked baggage | Product, alcohol content, airline and weight rules. |
| Container of 100 ml or less | Cabin may be possible | Liquids bag and prohibited-item rules. |
| Duty-free purchase | Cabin under applicable conditions | Sealed bag, receipt and connections. |
| Empty glass bottle | Cabin or checked baggage | Cleanliness, sharp edges and protection. |
Alcohol rules are separate from customs
Aviation rules determine whether alcohol may travel safely. Canadian customs rules determine the personal exemption and what must be declared on return. A bottle bought duty free still has to be declared and counts toward the applicable allowance.
Reliable packing method
- Inspect the seal and cap.
- Place the bottle in a strong leak-resistant bag.
- Protect the neck and base.
- Wrap the complete bottle with padding.
- Keep every bottle separate.
- Place bottles away from suitcase walls, corners and wheels.
- Fill empty spaces so nothing moves.
- Weigh the suitcase before departure.
A fragile sticker does not replace proper packing. Assume the suitcase may be stacked, dropped or turned on its side.
Keep these items separate
- Passport and travel documents.
- Essential medication.
- Electronics and power banks.
- Valuables.
- Clothing needed immediately after arrival.
If a bottle breaks
Open the suitcase in an easy-to-clean area, wear shoes and use gloves if available. Photograph damage before removing items, watch for hidden glass and discard any food contaminated by fragments.
