Accepted answer

How would you answer the following question?

Are you aware of all the contents of your bags?

Technically, you should not carry this in any of your bags (checked or not), because you don't know what it is. However, if you trust the person who packed or wrapped this, then you should be fine.

Depending on where you are flying, you may or may not be able to carry liquid or gel products over a certain size. And even if you are, you may need to place the products in a clear plastic bag for security inspection. If it's already wrapped, you're probably not going to be able to do that without completely unwrapping it first.

If you send this through the X-ray scanner, they will notice that it contains liquid or gels (if indeed it does), and then will have a lot of further questions for you to answer.

You will absolutely not be able to take this on your hand luggage:

  1. Its wrapped, the security personnel will ask you to open it.
  2. If its more than 100ml, the security personnel will discard it.

So, if you want to make sure you receive this item, put it in your checked luggage.
