From June 30th 2018, new restrictions have applied to all international flights departing from Australia, including transit flights as below:

-   The restrictions will limit inorganic powders (e.g. salt, sand, talcum powder) to a total volume of 350ml/g or less per passenger in the aircraft cabin.

-   There will not be a quantity restriction on organic powders (e.g. food, powdered baby formula, coffee, sugar) but all powders will need to be divested from carry-on baggage and placed separately into trays for x-ray examination.

-    Exemptions will apply for organic powders (including baby products), medical or therapeutic products, cremated remains and duty free powders contained in security tamper evident bags with proof of purchase.  An exemption will also apply for items required for carrying on a business in the sterile area.
