Taking pepper spray out of Belgium

STATUS · PROHIBITED

Pepper spray is a prohibited weapon for civilians in Belgium, so there is no lawful personal possession or export.

Details

Belgium prohibits civilian possession of pepper spray and similar incapacitant sprays under its weapons legislation — possession itself is an offence, so there is no lawful personal-export pathway. Sprays found at airport screening are confiscated and can lead to prosecution. Travellers seeking personal-safety equipment should acquire a legal alternative (personal alarm) or purchase a legal spray at a destination where civilian possession is permitted.
