For alcohol, the practical limit mentioned is 1 liter of spirits per person. Travelers note that any check would happen at customs exit after baggage claim and duty-free shopping, not because of the luggage itself.

If you bring goods above the duty-free allowance, Turkish customs may ask for a declaration and duty payment. Travelers point out that this is about import rules in general, not only duty-free purchases.
