📝 Important Notes
- •✅ ALLOWED — no customs restriction on personal cosmetics
- •Makeup, skincare, perfume, hair products and toiletries for your own use enter Italy freely, in any brand and quantity that looks personal.
- •Things to know:
- •Airline liquids rule: containers over 100 ml in hand luggage are not allowed — pack full-size bottles in checked baggage
- •New purchases from outside the EU count toward the general allowance of €430 (air/sea) or €300 (land); a haul of luxury skincare from Dubai or Seoul above that is dutiable at 22% VAT
- •Perfume has no separate customs limit in the EU; the old 50 ml perfume allowance was abolished in 2008
- •Products containing CBD or certain banned ingredients (hydroquinone bleaching creams, mercury) can be seized

- •Advice: Italian farmacia brands (Bottega Verde, Santa Maria Novella, pharmacy own-labels) are a reason to buy here rather than bring — and Sephora and Douglas stock every global brand.

Is there a limit on how much perfume I can bring into Italy?
No specific limit. Perfume is just goods: from another EU country it is free, and from outside the EU it counts toward the €430 allowance like any purchase. The only practical limit is the 100 ml rule for hand luggage.
Can I bring Korean or Japanese skincare with ingredients not approved in the EU?
For personal use, yes — customs does not check ingredient lists of travellers' toiletries. The EU cosmetics regulation restricts what can be *sold*, not what you can carry for yourself. Exceptions are products with CBD, hydroquinone or mercury, which can be seized.
