Do liquor kits need to be sealed before landing in international destinations?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only if required
• D. Sealed upon arrival

Answer: (A)

Liquor kits are treated as restricted liquids that must remain secure during international transit. Sealing the kit before landing creates a tamper-evident barrier, so there’s clear proof that the contents haven’t been opened or altered en route. It also helps prevent spills during landing and deceleration, protecting passengers and aircraft equipment. This practice aligns with international security and customs expectations, making the state of the kit clear when you reach the destination and hand it over for inspection or disposal if required. Leaving the kit unsealed or delaying sealing until arrival would introduce potential security or safety issues and complicate compliance with destination rules.
