Why Perfume Shipping Requires Special Handling
Perfumes and alcohol-based fragrances are classified as dangerous goods for air transport (Class 3 flammable liquids) and require strict DGR documentation, UN-approved packaging and airline approval. Our perfume shipping service manages this compliance process so cosmetics and fragrance brands can move stock into and out of the UAE without rejection.

Perfume Shipping FAQs
Why is perfume classified as dangerous goods for air freight?
Most perfumes contain alcohol, making them Class 3 flammable liquids under IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, which require special packaging and documentation.
Can perfume be shipped by sea instead of air to avoid DGR requirements?
Yes, sea freight has different (generally less restrictive) dangerous goods requirements and can be a cost-effective alternative for larger fragrance shipments.
