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 — 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.
