What the community said

For disposable vapes, travelers mention a limit of up to 10 units per person when entering Turkey. Personal use is allowed, but official sales inside the country are banned.

10 disposable vapes per person

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.

1 liter of spirits

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.
