My PageRestricted items for carry-on/
checked baggage
Please check in advance whether there are any hazardous materials in your belongings. See the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) document or instruction manual describing chemical substances' hazard information. Please note that we refuse transportation if we cannot confirm whether or not it is possible to transport by air before departure.
News
Many batteries are not stated their capacity by watt-hour rating (Wh).
Portable batteries with built-in lithium-ion batteries, as used in mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, power bank etc., can be carried on board if the capacity is 160Wh or less. If the total exceeds 160Wh or is unknown, it cannot be accepted as cabin or checked baggage. Please check the capacity (Wh) before boarding.
See "General electronic devices built-in or attached lithium batteries or lithium-ion batteries" for more details.

General electronic devices with built-in or attached lithium batteries or lithium-ion batteries
For lithium batteries, check the lithium content (g). For lithium-ion batteries, check the watt-hour rating (Wh). Handling also differs for built-in batteries and spare batteries.
Product examples: Digital cameras, PCs, electronic gaming devices, video cameras, mobile phones, spare batteries, smartphone chargers, etc.
※If the capacity is not stated by watt-hour rating (Wh) on your batteries, use the following formula.
The handling differs depending on its capacity.
Wh = Ah×V
(1000mAh = 1Ah)
| Type | Lithium battery | Lithium-ion battery | Quantity | For Stowage | Stowage |
