📝 Important Notes
- •✅ ALLOWED (within the £390 goods allowance): Great Britain has no separate perfume quantity; perfume simply counts toward your allowance for other goods.
- •📋 Quick Summary:
- •Allowance: you can bring in other goods worth up to £390, or up to £270 if you arrive by private plane or boat
- •What counts: perfume, gifts and souvenirs all fall under this single value allowance
- •Over the allowance: you pay tax and duty on the total value of the goods, not just the value above the allowance
- •No sharing: you cannot combine your personal allowance with anyone else's
- •💡 Tips:
- •Because tax applies to the total value once you cross £390, a single expensive bottle can pull everything else into charge
- •Tobacco and alcohol have their own separate allowances and do not use up the £390
- •You cannot combine your personal allowance with anyone else's
❓ More Questions
How much perfume can I bring into the UK?
There is no separate perfume limit. Perfume counts toward the allowance for other goods, which is £390 (or £270 if you arrive by private plane or boat). Above that you pay tax and duty on the total value.
Can my partner and I combine our UK allowances for one expensive bottle?
No. GOV.UK states you cannot combine your personal allowance with anyone else’s, so a single item worth more than £390 cannot be split across two allowances.
