Tan Son Nhat Airport implements new liquid security rules

Tan Son Nhat International Airport police have issued new security requirements for passengers on international flights, particularly those traveling to Australia, the United States, and other nations with heightened security protocols. Authorities will conduct re-inspections of liquids, gels, and aerosols at departure gates based on requirements from destination countries or airlines.

Under Ministry of Public Security regulations, liquids in carry-on baggage must be in containers no larger than 100 ml and must be completely sealed. The total volume of liquids per passenger is limited to 1 liter. Exceptions are made for essential items such as medicine, milk, and baby food, provided they meet specific regulatory conditions.

Duty-free liquids purchased at international transit shops or on board may be carried if they are contained in a Security Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB) and accompanied by a valid receipt. Passengers are advised to arrive at departure gates on time and have their liquids prepared for inspection to ensure a smooth process.
