which of the european countries have no tobacco/alcohol restrictions when returning to the uk ?

Question

ie:- spain allows a greater quantity than malta etc...

Answer 1

You don't seem to understand how the system works. The country that you export goods from doesn't really care how much you take out - in fact the more they can export the better. Its the country to which you import goods that restricts allowances. The EU member countries all apply the same rules - that's the whole point of the EU. The duty free rules only apply to goods bought in a duty-free shop at an airport etc. If you go to a normal shop on the street and buy goods at local prices including tax, you can bring back as much as you can carry, provided that its for your own personal consumption and you are not planning to sell the booze or cigarettes. Just keep the receipts to prove where you bought the stuff.

Answer 2

none, all have restrictions. All are the same:

Cigarettes 800
Cigars 200
Cigarillos 400
Tobacco 1 kg
Spirits (above 22 per cent alcohol) 10 litres
Fortified wine (22 per cent alcohol or less) 20 litres
Table wine (no more than 60 litres of which may be
sparkling wine such as champagne) 90 litres
Beer 110 litres

Answer 3

There are no legal restrictions between EU countries. There are when coming into the EU from non EU European countries.

Answer 4

Any EU country will allow as much as you can reasonably carry. Outside the EU and this includes the Canaries, limits aplly.

Answer 5

germany ive brought back 2000 cigars and 6 packs of tobaco along with loads of fags they are cheaper than the uk and duty is already paid regards bas

Answer 6

Because malta is not in the EC...........EC countries are all the same, and its only EC countries that you can bring in the most. NON EC countries, you are limited.
