About K-Beauty Products
K-Beauty (Korean Beauty) products include Korean skincare, makeup, and cosmetics known for innovative ingredients and affordable prices. When traveling with K-Beauty products, they're generally allowed but subject to liquid and cosmetics regulations. Liquids, gels, and creams must follow TSA 3-1-1 rule for carry-on (containers ≤100ml in a quart-sized bag). Sheet masks are not considered liquids. Larger bottles should go in checked luggage. Some countries have quantity limits for cosmetics (typically for personal use only). Products with certain ingredients (snail mucin, bee venom) are usually fine but keep in original packaging with ingredient labels.

📝 Important Notes
- •✅ ALLOWED — zero duty, zero tax, zero limit
- •Hong Kong charges no import duty or sales tax on cosmetics, perfume or toiletries, and there is no quantity limit for personal use. A bag of new Korean skincare or French perfume attracts nothing at customs.
- •The only rules:
- •CBD in any cosmetic (creams, serums, lip balms) is a dangerous drug since February 2023 — up to 7 years' imprisonment. Check labels before packing
- •Products containing mercury, hydroquinone or certain steroids are controlled under pharmacy law and can be seized
- •Commercial quantities (cartons of one item) are a trade matter, not a duty matter — parallel traders are checked at the Shenzhen crossings
- •Airline liquids rule: over 100 ml in checked baggage
- •Advice: Hong Kong is where people come to *buy* cosmetics — Sasa, Bonjour, Watsons, Mannings and the big department stores stock every brand duty-free. Bring less, buy more.
