Hand sanitizer allowance in Mexico

TSA has made an exception for hand sanitizer to allow up to 12oz instead of 3oz.

Anyone know if Mexico has done similar? I have an 8oz bottle I'll take with me on an upcoming trip - probably won't use all of it, but not sure if I will be able to bring the rest back or have to give it up.

Hi,

Nothing stated here;

https://www.aicm.com.mx/en/passengers/faqs

but could you buy a couple of empty travel size plastic bottles before your trip ie 3 x 3ozs and decant the 8oz bottle into 3 bottles?

Regards

TBS

I haven’t heard of Mexico making that exception. Just fly with a 3 Oz and pack the larger container, preferably leakproof - as long as it’s 70% ABV / GL or less.

Carry on only planned for this trip, so packing isn't an option.

I found some wipes that I will take along with a 3oz bottle. That should be enough to get through the trip.
