These items from your carry-ons must be placed in a tray when you go through security:

• Liquids
• Toiletries
• Medicin

Items you also need to place in a tray:

• Jacket
• Loose items (coins etc.)

You may be asked to take off your belt, watch and shoes, if they contain any kind of metal.

E-cigarettes must be kept in your carry-on baggage at all times, where lighters must be on one´s person.

As a main guideline, it is always a good idea to store toiletries in checked-in baggage if possible. It is usually the easiest.

If you have toiletries in your carry-on baggage, here's a guide to how to pack it.

Liquids must be stored in a transparent bag (maximum of 1 liter), which can be closed. It is available in well-stocked supermarkets.

Liquids must be carried in containers with a maximum capacity of 100 ml (one deciliter). You may have several containers, as long as they can be in one 1-liter resealable bag.

Examples of items that are covered by these rules:

• Water, juice, butter and liver paté
• Perfume, cologne, aftershave, partially liquids, such as shampoo and toothpaste
• Oils and lotions, such as hand lotions or suntan lotion
• Deodorant, shaving cream, etc.
• All kinds of liquid cosmetics

ATTENTION !: Baby food and medicines with prescription are not covered by the liquid ban. Always bring your prescription.

This means that you are allowed to bring baby food onboard. Security staff may perform sampling tests and can always ask for permission to check your baby food.

Goods purchased in DutyFree are sealed properly, the seal must not be broken before you arrive at your final destination. These items may also be targeted for security checks.

You should under normal circumstances not bring pointy and sharp items in your hand luggage.

Pointy and sharp objects are for example:

• Articles which are designed to chop, for example large and small axes and meat cleavers.
• Ice axes and ice picks
• Razor blades
• Utility knifes
• Knives with blades of more than 6 cm
• Scissors with blades of more than 6 cm as measured from the fulcrum
• Match Sports equipment with sharp or pointed edges
• Swords and sabers

You may bring your pointy and sharp objects in your checked-in baggage.

A number of items go under the category "dangerous goods", which are considered to be potentially dangerous on board an aircraft. Therefore special rules are associated with these.

Under this category you will find, among other things, lighters, which contain a small amount of compressed gas, which makes them potentially flammable. It is illegal to bring cigarette lighters in either checked-in baggage or in one's hand luggage. You have to carry the your lighter on your person when travelling.

Under the category you will also find:

• E-cigarettes
• Lithium batteries
• Ammunition
• Chemicals
• Lamps
• Etc.

Obs. Rules are updated once a year.

As of December 14, 2019, tighter rules apply to the import of plants and
plant products from outside the EU. This also applies to travelers who bring plants and plant products in their luggage.

The new rules mean that from December 14, 2019, plants, seeds, fruits and other plant products from travels in countries outside the EU will no longer be permitted without being accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate.

The rules also apply to smaller quantities of plants and plant products where the only exceptions to these rules are the fruits of pineapple, coconut, banana, durian and dates that can be freely imported.

If you bring plants for planting, including certain types of seed for seeds, from outside the EU, these must be followed by a plant health certificate and notified for import. The item will then be inspected by the National Board of Agriculture. Please note that there are expenses associated with import control.

If you bring fruits, vegetables, cut flowers or other non-planting living parts from outside the EU, plant health certificates will still be required, but the products will not have to be declared for import.

The new rules also mean that several types of plants for planting are subject to import bans. The rules are due to a new EU regulation, called the Plant Health Regulation, which aims to protect our natural and cultural landscape, as well as plant production from serious diseases and pests that can accompany plant products.

In the Import Guide you can read more about import prohibited plants, especially section 2.4 (import ban) and section 2.2. and 2.3. on plant health certificate products. Read more about plant health legislation on the website of the Danish Agricultural Agency.
