Some items are not strictly prohibited but can only be transported if they meet requirements regarding type, quantity, packaging method, or placement in baggage. Especially for lithium batteries, liquids, perishable food, and odor-producing items, passengers must check the regulations before packing to avoid being refused transport at the airport.
