Can I bring powdered potassium aluminum sulfate (tawas) in my luggage to the airport?

I am afraid that it might be mistaken for illegal Cocaine (met amphetamine).


Well, I use it for my underarm hygiene... Not really fond of using roll-ons. I will be working abroad full time for 2 years. Don't want to be caught up with the dilemma of where to find some when I am already there.. So, I am planning of bringing a bunch.. may be 1/4 kilo will do.

In my opinion if the material meets the airline safety requirements you can pack it in your checked luggage. 1/4 kilo is only a little more than 1/2 pound, so that is not really very much.





If it could be mistaken for an illegal substance I would be sure that it is in a marked original package from the manufacturer and I would get an MSDS for the material and pack it with the material. An MSDS is a Material Safety Data Sheet. It will tell the TSA baggage inspector what he needs to know about the material if he becomes suspicious about it.
