For those wondering whether they can bring toothpaste on their travels, the short answer is “Yes, but with certain limitations.” Unlike items that are strictly regulated in all forms of baggage, toothpaste is subject to the TSA’s liquid rules.
NOTICE: This article is specifically for travelers to or within the United States of America.
The guidelines discussed are based on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, the authority overseeing the security of the traveling public in the United States. These rules are applicable whether you’re flying into, within, or out of the U.S.
What TSA says about traveling with Toothpaste on a plane?
According to the TSA’s regulations on liquids, gels, and aerosols, travelers are allowed to bring toothpaste in their carry-on bags as long as it is within a container of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, and fits comfortably within a single, clear, quart-sized bag. Larger sizes should be packed in checked luggage.
This rule is part of the 3-1-1 liquids rule, designed to limit the volume of liquids, gels, and aerosols that passengers can bring in their carry-on luggage for security reasons.
