Carry-on details

Checked-bag details
Allowed. No size restriction in checked baggage — this is the better option for a full-size bottle or can of syrup.
Quantity limit
3.4 oz (per container)

FAQ
- Can I bring a full bottle of maple syrup home as a carry-on souvenir?
- Not in carry-on if it's over 3.4 oz — TSA treats syrup as a liquid because it can be poured. Pack a full-size bottle in checked baggage instead, where there's no size limit.
