📝 Important Notes

  • ✅ ALLOWED — no customs restriction on personal cosmetics
  • Makeup, skincare, perfume and toiletries for your own use enter Turkey freely. The only rules:
  • €430 allowance for new goods per adult (€150 under 15) — a large haul of new luxury skincare above that is dutiable
  • Commercial quantities (many identical items) are treated as trade and taxed; this matters for people bringing K-beauty or Gulf perfumes to resell
  • Airline liquids rule: over 100 ml goes in checked baggage
  • Products with CBD or cannabis-derived ingredients are prohibited — Turkey treats them as narcotics
  • Advice: Turkey is a good place to *buy* cosmetics — Gratis and Watsons carry every global brand, local brands (Flormar, Golden Rose) are cheap, and Turkish rose water and olive-oil soaps are the souvenirs to take home.

❓ More Questions

Is there a limit on perfume into Turkey?

No separate limit — perfume is ordinary goods within the €430 allowance for new purchases. Duty-free perfume bought on the way in is fine in personal quantities; a dozen identical bottles looks like resale and gets taxed.

Can I bring CBD skincare into Turkey?

No. Turkey classifies all cannabis-derived products, including CBD creams and oils, as narcotics regardless of THC content. They can be seized and lead to questioning. Leave them at home.
