Can you bring fruit in carry-on or checked luggage when flying out of Nha Trang (Cam Ranh Airport)?

TL;DR

Yes, fruit (including baskets and bags) is generally allowed both as carry-on and checked luggage — weight limits are rarely enforced, and no issues were reported even on a Shanghai transit flight.

What the community said

One traveler noted that issues might arise only if carrying a large quantity of fruit (roughly 20 kg or more). A couple of containers of fruit drew no attention from staff anywhere.

~20 kg possible threshold

Several recent confirmations: fruit baskets (5-7 kg) in carry-on weren't weighed or inspected either at departure from Vietnam or on arrival in Moscow (Sheremetyevo). On Aeroflot flights, an S-size cabin suitcase, backpack, and a bag with 5-6 kg of fruit were carried through with no issues.

Aeroflot, 5-7 kg fruit

On a flight transiting through Shanghai, fruit was carried both in hand luggage and checked baggage without issues — it wasn't even inspected. Power banks and water bottles got more attention from security.

Shanghai transit flight

The carry-on limit is officially 10 kg, but in practice weight isn't checked — passengers walked through with fruit baskets on top of their bags and extra bags of fruit.

10 kg carry-on limit

Only fruit baskets (around 5 kg) were weighed, backpacks weren't put on the scale at all — it really depends on the specific check-in staff.
