Nitrious oxide

You can only bring a certain amount of nitrous oxide into Sweden. This applies regardless of whether you buy nitrous oxide online or bring it with you to Sweden when travelling.

Bringing nitrous oxide from another country - Applicable rules

  • You must be at least 18 years old.
  • On each occasion, you may bring in:
    • a maximum of 18 grams of nitrous oxide (net)
    • In no more than two containers, each containing 9 grams of gas.

The same rules apply if you bring in nitrous oxide from another EU country or from a country outside the EU. The same rules also apply if you purchase nitrous oxide online or bring nitrous oxide with you to Sweden when travelling.

Exceptions to the quantity restriction

If you intend to use nitrous oxide for motor sports and have a licence from a motor sports organisation, you may bring in 60 kilograms of nitrous oxide per occasion. You must then be able to present your licence together with proof of ID during an inspection.
