Traveling with Nicotine Pouches: Customs, Duty Free & Airport Rules

I cover everything you need to know about bringing, buying, and using nicotine pouches while traveling in and out of the United Arab Emirates. You’ll learn where to find them at Dubai duty free, how to pack them in your hand luggage, and what airport security scans look for.
Dubai Duty Free & Airport Purchases

- Arrivals & Departures lounges: Small kiosks sell VELO lines at AED 28.

Customs Regulations for Nicotine Pouches in the UAE
Personal Use Limits & Declaration
You may carry up to 200 tobacco-free nicotine pouches (under the “nicotine products” rule) without declaring at customs. No fees apply when your total stays under that limit.
Bulk Imports & Business Shipments
If you import more than 200 pouches, you must complete a customs declaration and pay the standard import duty. Contact UAE Federal Customs for current rates and paperwork.
Flying with Nicotine Pouches
Hand Luggage vs. Checked Baggage
You can pack sealed foil cans in either your carry-on or checked luggage. I recommend carry-on to avoid heat or crushing in the hold. Keep original packaging intact to show at security.
Emirates Flights Policy
Emirates permits sealed, tobacco-free nicotine pouches onboard. You won’t need special clearance—just follow the standard rules for liquids and gels (none apply to pouches).
Airport Screening & Snus Detection
Security scanners focus on liquids, electronics, and prohibited items. Snus-style pouches pass through X-ray machines without issue. Agents rarely inspect sealed tins unless irregular packaging raises a flag.
Top Tips for Smooth Travel
Packing Best Practices
- Place cans in a clear pouch with your electronics and chargers.
- Keep under the 200-pouch personal limit.
- Label cans with brand and strength to ease inspection.
Flying with ZYN & VELO
ZYN can be harder to find in local shops, so bring a supply. VELO and Rabbit are widely stocked at Dubai Duty Free and major vape kiosks—reserve via my BUY guide before you travel.
