What are the Duty Free regulations; how many cigarettes can I bring back home?
There are no specific limits on the amount of alcohol and tobacco you take with you when you travel between European Union countries, as long as it is for personal use and not intended for resale. VAT and duties are included in the price you pay. For your guidance, goods are considered to be for your own personal use if you limit your alcohol and tobacco purchases to: • 800 cigarettes • 400 cigarillos • 200 cigars • 1 kg of loose tobacco • 10 litres of spirits • 20 litres of fortified wine, such as port or sherry • 90 litres of wine, of which a maximum of 60 litres is sparkling wine • 110 litres of beer These rules already apply to Malta and Cyprus. However, the 15 old EU countries may maintain certain limits on cigarettes and tobacco products brought in from the other new EU countries for limited period.
