Carry-on: Yes Checked: Yes Declare on arrival: Required No limit on domestic flights
No restriction on flying with them in either bag. The rule that bites is on the way home: supplements containing animal or plant material - fish oil, collagen, herbal preparations - must be declared to biosecurity.
Some traditional medicines contain ingredients from protected species and are prohibited outright. Keep everything in its original labelled packaging.
