where abouts in Belgium is it? We are planning to go from Manchester, England on the tobacco run, and want to use the Sat Nav, does anyone know the Town, City, or even better, postcode or address of the place? ANY advice really appreciated!

If you are going cross channel, leave Calais on A16 towards Dunkerque . Follow this road for about 38 miles.When you cross the Belgian border, road remains the same ,but becomes A18. Take first turnoff for Adinkirke (about 2 miles into Belgium), left at roundabout ,and you are there. Plenty of places to buy what you want. It's even a bit touristy.
Pack of 10 (500gm.) will cost you €40 which is about £28.50, this is for European brands. For U.K. brands you will pay a bit more.
You can legally buy and import as much as you want, provided you can convince Customs it is for your own use, but don't forget it is illegal to buy it with the purpose of selling it on. You will have heard no doubt how easy it is, but believe me quite a few cars from each sailing are stopped and occupants questioned (and often searched).
Good luck and have a good trip.

If you're sailing into Calais or Dunkerque then Adinkerke is the first town over the border. There is tobacco hypermarkets from what I've been told.
If you're sailing into Zeebrugge or Ostend you should find shops that sell to tobacco tourists locally too.
If you want to make a day of it go to Bruges. There is a Saturday market in the town and there is a stall that caters just for the English baccie tourist. Market starts at 6am and finishes just after midday. There is plenty of others that sell English baccie and cigarettes in Bruges. One is on Simon Stevensplein (a tobacconist) and another on Katelijnenstraat by the junction with Oude Gentweg (a newsagent).
Put 't Zand Brugge in your sat nav and it will take you to the market. There is a multi level car park underneath it.
Have fun.
Tobacco and cigarettes will cost you the same everywhere in Belgium. There are only diferences between the brands, not between where you buy it.
Oh, and you follow the E40 from Calais to Brugge (Bruges). via Veurne. It's exit 5 iirr.

you may pass ninety packs of sigarettes per individual and 200 litres of alcohol beverage per individual in Europe. simply by fact of this many tobacco runs happen between dover and Belgium by using Calais. in case you play it sensible and contain 3 human beings in a motor vehicle and rigidity from Calais by way of Belgium in to Luxembourg 250 to 300km your Tabacco is much extra low-priced then in Belgium . you have 270 packs of sigarettes sufficient to furnish you lung maximum cancers instantaneous....

thinking of doing the run at the end of the year as the profit should be good.
