Full Details
Posting perfume to Bahrain is customs-permitted but carrier-constrained: fragrance alcohol is a Class 3 dangerous-goods limited quantity, so many national posts refuse or cap air-mail perfume, and couriers require limited-quantity packaging. On the customs side Bahrain Customs Affairs treats it as an ordinary parcel: an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration is required, import VAT/GST at 10% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Bahrain applies the 5% GCC Common External Tariff on all commercial parcels. 10% VAT applies on top of customs duty (raised from 5% in January 2022).
Confirm the carrier accepts perfume before shipping to Bahrain — postal refusal is more common than a customs problem. Declare contents accurately on the CN22/CN23; 'gift' mislabelling does not remove import charges and flags the parcel.
