Perfume / Fragrance → Russia

Perfume for personal use travels freely into Russia within the duty-free allowance; aviation liquid rules are the practical constraint.

Details

Perfume carried for personal use enters Russia as ordinary personal goods — Russia admits accompanied personal goods up to roughly USD 10,000 duty-free; above that, declare at the red channel and pay duty/tax on the excess. There is no perfume-specific import restriction for travellers; the binding constraints are aviation rules (cabin containers ≤100 ml in the liquids bag; larger bottles in checked baggage or sealed duty-free bags) and quantity: several identical new boxed bottles read as commercial goods to Federal Customs Service (FTS Russia). Duty-free airport purchases within the allowance are the simplest route.

Leaving with this item

Perfume and fragrance may be exported from Russia freely at personal-use quantities.

Practical advice

Keep receipts for new purchases so the allowance calculation is quick at inspection. Carry large bottles in checked baggage or sealed duty-free bags to clear aviation liquid rules.
