IATA dangerous goods

Perfume / Fragrance is classified under Class 3 — Flammable liquids. Cabin and checked-baggage limits apply on top of customs rules.

Practical advice

Personal-quantity perfume (under 500ml total, eau de toilette / eau de parfum) clears as routine. Bulk imports attract DG Class 3 flammable-liquid scrutiny + cosmetic-import registration at destination.
