WHEN LEAVING VANUATU

We think its great if you to take home authentic souvenirs from Vanuatu, however there are some items that Airports Vanuatu Security does not allow you to take into the aircraft cabin on international flights; especially powdered kava or coffee. This is because the packaging on these can be problematic when pressurized. So, to ensure your coffee and kava gets home safely with you please pack these in your suitcase/ checked luggage. ALL kava and coffee in hand luggage will be seized at the screening area in Vanuatu by the Airports Vanuatu Staff. Passengers are advised that Air Vanuatu takes no responsibility and is not involved in the confiscation of goods or any baggage screening at airport security.
