Can I Bring Sand on a Plane to Canada?
Sand
Restrictions Apply
According to CATSA guidelines, sand: Certain powders and granular materials in your carry-on are limited to a total quantity of 350 ml or less (roughly the size of a soda can). Attention Certain powders and granular materials may require additional screening, and in some cases, the items may not be permitted. We recommend that permitted powders and granular materials that are not required during your flight be placed in checked baggage. Exemptions on baby food or formula, life-sustaining medication, and sacred or spiritual items may apply.
The final decision rests with the CATSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official CATSA Rules →
