New Brazilian Regulation Allows Passengers to Bring E-Cigarettes on Domestic Flights
Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency allows passengers to carry e-cigarette devices on domestic flights, but restricts international travel.

According to a report from Panrotas on July 22, the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) recently authorized passengers to carry e-cigarette devices (DEF) on domestic flights, based on Resolution (RDC) No. 855/2024 issued by the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). The resolution states that personal e-cigarette devices are not considered imported or transported goods on domestic flights. Therefore, as long as they are for personal use, e-cigarette devices can be carried as hand luggage on domestic flights.


Additionally, Anvisa has restricted flights departing from abroad from allowing passengers to bring e-cigarette devices into Brazil in their luggage. Therefore, e-cigarette devices cannot be transported as carry-on luggage (including for personal use) on international flights to Brazil.
