Taking pepper spray out of United Kingdom

Details

United Kingdom 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.
