Perfume / Fragrance → Iran
Purpose: Traveling · Verified: 2026-07-26
Perfume for personal use travels freely into Iran within the duty-free allowance; aviation liquid rules are the practical constraint.
Details
Perfume carried for personal use enters Iran as ordinary personal goods — Iran admits accompanied personal goods up to roughly USD 80 duty-free; above that, declare at the red channel and pay duty/tax on the excess. There is no perfume-specific import restriction for travellers; the binding constraints are aviation rules (cabin containers ≤100 ml in the liquids bag; larger bottles in checked baggage or sealed duty-free bags) and quantity: several identical new boxed bottles read as commercial goods to Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA). Duty-free airport purchases within the allowance are the simplest route.
