Can you bring fruit from Vietnam to Russia in carry-on luggage, especially on flights via China or with Azur Air?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 11 days ago
TL;DR
Travelers report that fruit from Vietnam to Russia is often required to go in checked baggage, and some airlines do not allow it in carry-on. For routes via China and charter carriers like Azur Air, check the airline rules in advance; 5 kg may fit the carry-on allowance, but fruit baskets are not always accepted as a separate item.
What the community said
On some flights to Moscow, passengers were told to bag the fruit and place it inside checked luggage. It was not accepted in the cabin, partly because soft fruit can leak during the flight.

For departures from Cam Ranh on Azur Air, travelers specifically check whether fruit baskets are allowed as carry-on. A practical benchmark is the 5 kg cabin baggage limit, but that does not guarantee the basket will be accepted in the cabin without extra fees.

If your flight to Russia connects through China, fruit rules may be stricter than on a direct flight. Before departure, check both your cabin baggage allowance and any transit restrictions for the China segment.
