My family member requested perfumes as gifts when I come home. I’m really worried if the Japanese inspectors at Narita would question it if they detect it in my check-in luggage
I brought cologne back from the states in my check-in and it was fine. But I only had one 200 ml bottle.
The only time you need to worry is if it’s larger than 100 ml and it’s in your carry-on bag. Or if you have multiples of different ones and they suspect that you’re going to resell it, they might get taxed or seized.
Unless you bring in more then a 56 ml of a highly-concentrated perfume, which I doubt – you are good.
There’s no problem at all. Countries love exports. There’s nothing especially dangerous about perfume — you can certainly bring alcohol bottles in checked luggage.
Unless you’re doing something just plain weird, like bring an entire bag full of perfume bottles, this just isn’t someone you need to worry about.
If they didn’t allow perfume into Japan, duty free shops would take a serious hit.
They sell it at the duty free stores at the airport.
