Am I allowed to take an "All in One Water cooler" in my carry-on luggage?
This is a follow up question of Am I allowed to take a GPU in my carry-on luggage?
During my stay in LA I will be checking if some graphics cards are cheaper in the US and if yes I would like to buy 2 of them and import into switzerland. I already know that I would have to pay 8% VAT when I am importing them into Switzerland.
Now that the new AMD graphics card series has been released, I am especially looking at the Fury X which has an all in one water cooler. Does anyone know how the regulations are for water coolers as they logically have water in them? Am I allowed to take them in my carry-on luggage?
The main point of concern for me is that the water cooler have liquid in them, which is only allowed to a limited degree at security checks. Or I would be better off packing it into my suitcase?
Best Answer
I am not sure about the permitted degree of the liquid. but if the cooled material used(even its quantity may be less but the chemical used to give cooling air, is got noted during the scan) in the Fury X is got more possibility of being checked by the security and even you are ready to pay the 8% VAT.it can happen if they allowed you keep, else you need to leave it and move,as money spent is be got wasted.
