❓ More Questions

Can I bring Korean/Japanese skincare products?

YES! Personal cosmetics and skincare products are allowed for personal use. Reasonable quantities (e.g., 5-10 products) are fine. If bringing large quantities (20+ items), customs may question if they're for resale. Keep products in original packaging when possible.

What about liquid cosmetics in carry-on?

Follow the 100ml rule: each liquid/gel/cream container ≤100ml, all in one 1L clear plastic bag. This includes foundation, moisturizer, sunscreen, mascara. For larger containers, pack in checked luggage. Powder cosmetics have no restrictions.

Do I need to declare cosmetics?

NO, not usually. Personal cosmetics for personal use don't need declaration. However, if bringing commercial quantities (50+ items), you must declare and may pay duty and GST. Australia has excellent local and international cosmetics available.
