earleygallery Posted November 28, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 28, 2011 I think you need to check the regulations for the particular airline, as well as the relevant countries customs regs, but it should be ok in most cases, it is available by mail order after all.

joeswe Posted November 28, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2011 Definitely not in your cabin baggage (you cannot get liquids past the security check). In checked baggage it is probably also prohibited (you are usually not allowed to have toxic, corrosive or oxidizing substances in your baggage), but I suggest you contact your airline (or all airlines you plan to travel with) for details, there might even be some way to apply for a special permit.

I meant checked baggage not in hand bag. On website, they state that not allow "axit", toxic ... so I should not try Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted November 28, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 28, 2011 Vo, Corrosive chemical products are prohibited also in checked baggage Look at these links : British Airways - Banned and restricted items aircanada.com - Restricted and prohibited items TSA: Prohibited Items Qantas Baggage | Dangerous Goods Information Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Negative Posted December 1, 2011 Share #6 Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah, it's just not a good idea... Best to ship them or get them locally. Chemicals in dry form, maybe. But liquids? I wouldn't do it even if I could. And hand baggage is obviously out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted December 1, 2011 Share #7 Posted December 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) In ancient times some photojournalists would travel with C41 chemicals to process their film on location, often in their hotel room, scan and upload the images.

Steve Ash Posted December 2, 2011 Share #10 Posted December 2, 2011 I had no problems doing so. It is helpful to have a printed Material Safety Data Sheet of the chemicals in the bags. These also have a section on limits on transportation by plane. I double pack the liquids in leaktight Tupperware container. Regards, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted December 3, 2011 Share #14 Posted December 3, 2011 "In ancient times"...scan? ...upload? ... to what?Scanning and uploading came after my time, so I guess I'm more than ancient... Wirephoto technology, which was analog scanning of b/w prints, dates back quite a way. And it seems that digital film color scanning and transmission started in 1989 at the AP. I don't know how long these Leafax machines were used as scanning and computer technology improved pretty quickly. Read more: History of AP Photos I don't know how this looks to you but it looks pretty ancient to me. Considering that cell phones can shoot a photo or video and immediately upload it, I would expect similar technology to be included in some pro cameras before long in order to eliminate the need for a computer.

Technology looks about right for 1989. Here's a picture of a portable industrial field test system I developed in 1989. This was the 1991 version. (Today's looks very different.)
