Can I Bring Live Lobster on a Plane to United States?
Live Lobster
Restrictions Apply
According to TSA guidelines, a live lobster is allowed through security and must be transported in a clear, plastic, spill proof container. A TSA officer will visually inspect your lobster at the checkpoint. We recommend that you contact your airline to determine your airline's policy on traveling with your lobster before arriving at the airport.
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official TSA Rules →
