📝 Important Notes
- •✅ ALLOWED (value limits, not volume limits): China Customs manages perfume through value thresholds and reasonable-quantity control rather than a millilitre cap.
- •📋 Quick Summary:
- •Chinese residents: choose the Red Channel for personal articles from overseas valued at RMB 5,000 or above; the exceeding part or amount (subject to reasonable personal use) above the limit set by Customs will be levied duty upon
- •Non-residents: choose the Red Channel for personal articles intended to remain in the territory valued at RMB 2,000 or above
- •Nothing to declare: passengers with nothing to declare use the Green Channel, and personal articles within the Customs limit are exempt from duty
- •Quantity: personal articles are subject to reasonable quantity control
- •💡 Tips:
- •The value thresholds decide the channel: RMB 5,000 for Chinese residents, RMB 2,000 for non-residents bringing articles that will remain in China
- •Perfume is a liquid, so the usual cabin-baggage liquids rule applies on the flight
❓ More Questions
Is there a millilitre limit for perfume in China?
No. China Customs sets value thresholds instead: RMB 5,000 for Chinese residents and RMB 2,000 for non-residents bringing articles that will stay in China. Personal articles are also subject to reasonable quantity control.
Which channel do I use for perfume in China?
If you have nothing to declare you use the Green Channel and personal articles within the Customs limit are exempt from duty. Once your personal articles reach RMB 5,000 (residents) or RMB 2,000 (non-residents staying in China), you must use the Red Channel.
