In any case, I would expect any passenger handling staff or security staff to confiscate it if they see it as they are not trained in DG acceptance.
If you really want to take it, I would contact SkyCargo in your home country and explain what you want to carry as a passenger and you are concerned it will be confiscated and you obviously want to be sure you are not committing any offence.
Ask SkyCargo if they can advise how best to carry it and if they agree you can take it as a passenger ask for some form of documentation.
Would it not just be easier to buy some at your destination though?
That is exactly the sort of info I was looking for, thank you.
But as I mentioned above I have decided not to take it. I wanted it in case of coral cuts and I have no idea whether it will be available in some fairly remote south sea islands but I don't
need it.
It was recommended to me only recently, previously I wouldn't have known what H2O2 was used for.
Since I asked the question I've done some more research and it would appear that many contact lens cleaning solutions are 3% H2O2 and I would assume they are taken on flights many many times each day! ....whether legally or not.
