• The urn must be securely sealed and placed inside cabin baggage or checked baggage. Pack to prevent movement or breakage.
• The crematory container must be transparent to X‑ray screening. Screeners will not open the urn under any circumstances, even upon passenger request. We recommend a temporary travel container of wood, plastic, cardboard, or non‑lead‑lined ceramic.
• If the X‑ray image is opaque at the checkpoint, security may require the urn to be transported as checked baggage after explosive trace detection clears the container.

• Powder‑like substances in carry‑on baggage greater than 350 mL / 12 oz receive additional screening. We recommend placing powders in checked baggage.
• For carry‑on, the urn must be X‑ray transparent; TSA officers will not open the container. If the container cannot be cleared by X‑ray, it cannot pass the checkpoint.
• Sealed containers will be inspected by officials for signs of alteration or tampering with the packaging. Containers that are unsealed or have signs of alteration or tampering, will be inspected to ensure that the contents are consistent with the container. 

Document needs vary by route and by the import/transit rules of the country concerned. Typical documents include:

• Death Certificate
  Death Certificate (copy) and Cremation Certificate (for carriage as ashes in an urn) maybe required.

• For Carriage to India
  Refer to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare e‑Clearance for Afterlife Remains (eCARe) guidance. For ashes, documentation is streamlined versus body shipment; check the portal for current requirements and submit applications as instructed.

• Translated Documents
  Some authorities require documents in English (or with certified English translations). Always verify the destination country’s rules.

• Country Specific Regulations
  Always check the destination country’s consulate and our Customer Support Portal before you travel. Regulations differ by country and may change without notice; security officers at the checkpoint have the final decision on whether an item is allowed.

• Airport Screening in India (AVSEC/BCAS)
  Security directions on handling prohibited items and screening apply nationwide; always follow airport security instructions.

• Health Restrictions for Arrivals into India:
  Under India’s public‑health rules, ashes of cremated remains are permitted. Specific disease‑related restrictions apply primarily to non‑cremated remains.
