If you’re looking to learn more about buying perfume in the USA and shipping it to Saudi Arabia, you’re in the right place. With Stackry’s parcel forwarding service, you can shop from U.S. retailers and enjoy access to a wider range of fragrances—including exclusive releases— at more competitive prices than those available locally.
Yes, you can. Shipping perfume from the USA to Saudi Arabia is simple with Stackry.
Yes. Perfume is classified as a hazardous material (Hazmat), but it is not prohibited and can be shipped to Saudi Arabia using Stackry’s forwarding service.
Because it contains alcohol, perfume is considered a flammable liquid and is subject to air transport regulations. As a result, only select carriers can ship it internationally—for Saudi Arabia, currently only DHL supports perfume shipments. Volume limits apply per bottle, and a small hazmat handling fee is required.

When you use Stackry, all hazmat handling is managed for a flat fee of $12.50 per hazmat type. This means you’ll pay the same fee whether you’re shipping one bottle or multiple, making it more cost-effective to combine items into a single shipment.
Repacking is mandatory, as perfume cannot be shipped in used boxes. Your items will be repacked into a new box measuring at least 5 × 9 × 11 inches. The maximum weight per box is 40 lbs; however, larger orders can be split into multiple compliant boxes if needed.
Lastly, hazmat items must be shipped with approved carriers, so shipping options may be more limited. Stackry manages the entire process to ensure your shipment remains compliant and is handled safely throughout transit.
Yes, there are specific requirements. When buying perfume and aftershave, make sure each individual bottle is under 500ml and that liquid contents are clearly labelled, as unmarked bottles can't be shipped. Aerosols and oversized bottles may also be subject to additional restrictions.
There are a couple of packing requirements:
- Repacking is mandatory as Perfume cannot be shipped in used boxes.
- The max weight per box is 40lbs, but for larger shipments, we can pack multiple boxes.
Shipping one bottle of perfume can be comparatively expensive, as it has to be packed in a box of at least 5x9x10 inches, which can have a significant impact on the shipping fees of a single bottle. However, shipping 3 bottles (in the same size box!) increases value for money, spreading the postage, packaging, and hazmat handling costs across three products, instead of one.
Yes. Perfume is fragile, and Stackry treats it accordingly. Bottles are securely wrapped, cushioned, and placed in protective packaging to eliminate any risk of leakage or breakage, and “fragile items” stickers can be requested to be placed on the box. You can also request extra packaging if you feel it’s needed.

Yes, you’ll need to pay VAT 15%.
Note: The amount due is decided by Saudi Arabia customs authorities. Before arranging shipment, it's wise to check potential charges using official guidance.
US stores serve a mass market, and lots of leading cosmetic and fashion brands launch products in the States first. This combination of scale and early launch means better prices, more frequent promotions, and access to brands that either launch later in Saudi Arabia or never show up at all. Just take a look at major US beauty retailers like Sephora, Ulta Beauty, Macys, Bath & Body Works and Nordstrom to see the incredible selection available.
Sephora is especially popular for US-exclusive sets and sales ranging from 20–50% on brands such as Dior, Gucci, and Fenty. Direct international shipping is limited, so parcel forwarding is often the easiest option.
Ulta Beauty is known for everyday promotions on brands like Charlotte Tilbury and Prada. Customers often bundle beauty purchases to consolidate shipments and reduce overall forwarding costs.
Nordstrom offers luxury brands including Chanel and Tom Ford, particularly during promotional events. Its reliable domestic US delivery makes it ideal for larger Saudi Arabia-bound orders.
Macy's offers you to browse multi-category purchases, allowing customers to combine perfumes such as Burberry and Valentino with additional items in a single shipment for greater efficiency. It's also well known for regular discounts and sales events.
Bath & Body Works is popular for affordable seasonal fragrance mists such as Japanese Cherry Blossom. It offers a lower-cost way to try new scents through Stackry’s forwarding service.
FragranceNet offers reductions of up to 80% on designer brands and fast US shipping for bulk purchases that can significantly undercut Saudi Arabia retail pricing.
Macy’s offers high discount rates and flash sales.
