Full Details

Posting cosmetics to Oman in personal quantities is permitted — registration and notification regimes govern marketing cosmetics, not personal parcels. Royal Oman Police — Directorate General of Customs applies the ordinary parcel framework to an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration: import VAT/GST at 5% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Oman applies 5% GCC Common External Tariff on commercial parcels. 5% VAT applies (lowest of GCC) on top of customs duty since April 2021. Aerosols and nail varnish are dangerous-goods limited quantities for air mail; bulk or repeated identical parcels are treated as unregistered commercial imports.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Keep parcels to personal quantities and declare contents specifically ('face cream', not 'gift'). Check carrier rules for aerosols and nail varnish — they are the commonly refused items in this class.
