Hi Chris, not according to several articles I’ve read in a few IT publications:

Would love to read you before taking my flight from NZ….no more powerbank (solar one! Small one !) at the arrival. I arrived with it also in my suitcase…. so sad, it was a gift from work.

Oh no, was it a large one? There are some restrictions on size. That’s a bummer!

My name is Ishraq and I am Bangladeshi. I’m living in Singapore. I have toured China thrice recently and my power bank got confiscated as I was carrying on my backpack today at Shenzhen airport before boarding flight to Singapore. ?

It really helped when you said that we can still travel with it, but ensure to hand carry the power bank instead of storing on our luggage. I also like how you mentioned that using a shorter cable will help in charging it faster. Thanks and have a cheerful day! guestporter.com/
