ALLOWED

No specific restrictions for personal perfume / fragrance

Details

No specific restrictions for personal perfume / fragrance. Quantity guidance for United States: Personal use. Documentation: CBP Declaration Form 6059B if total goods exceed USD 800. Allowed status assumes personal-use quantities — commercial-scale amounts move the entry into formal import procedures with duty and documentation. Arrival checks are carried out by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving United States with perfume / fragrance is a separate question: allowed — Perfume and fragrance may be exported from United States freely at personal-use quantities.

Leaving with this item

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.
