No Iam planning to take that in checked luggage, but worried with the customs. Why I should I pay money to customs as Iam taking a toy worth 100$. Anything less than 25000 RS (INR) need not be declared right? But these people want money and they create unnecessary problems for us.

Should be no problem in checked luggage. They just don’t want you breaking them out in the airport lobby, which I assume you weren’t planning to do.

Hi,

Do they allow RC helicopters in checkin-baggage?
Why is the scrutiny check? Why should innocent people get tortured for this.

RC heli are for fun. Its a hobby. If people carry whatz the problem? If it is really a problem, US stores should stop selling them. As long as they sell, there shold be no problem in carrying it.

We like quiet, self contained, toys for the airport anyway, so this new restriction certainly won’t impact our travel (and frankly, I’ll be glad to see RC cars gone from the airport).

That said, the airlines generally don’t cover damage to electronic devices in checked baggage so this does put travellers in a bit of a bind.
