Travel Info How many cigaretters can you bring back to the UK? are there any restrictions on where you can smoke? Travel Tips Goods obtained in the European Union (EU) will already include VAT and duty applicable to the country where the goods were obtained. No additional VAT or Customs duty will be payable on entry into the UK. There is no limit to the amount of excise goods (such as tobacco or alcohol) you can bring into the UK (except from certain Member States), provided these are carried by you and are for your own use - which includes gifts. If you bring in goods for resale, or for any payment, even payment in kind, they are regarded as being for a commercial purpose. If you bring back large quantities of alcohol or tobacco, a customs officer may ask you about the purposes for which you hold the goods. This particularly applies if you have with you more than the following amounts: 3200 cigarettes 400 cigarillos 200 cigars 3kg smoking tobacco 10 litres of spirits 20 litres of fortified wine 90 litres of wine 110 litres of beer. The officer will take into account all the factors of the situation and your explanation. If you are unable or you refuse to provide a satisfactory explanation the officer may well conclude that those goods are for commercial purposes and not for your own use. If the officer is satisfied the goods are being brought into the UK for a commercial purpose, and are not for own use, the goods, along with any vehicle used to transport them, will be liable to seizure and may not be returned. There are limits to the amount of tobacco products you can bring back without paying duty from the following Member States: Estonia - 200 cigarettes or 250g of smoking tobacco. Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia or Slovenia - 200 cigarettes. In Scotland & Ireland you can't smoke in any public building Source(s): http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsporta... Other Travel Tips You weak willed wimp. Slave to the tobacco companies, are you? Check with British customs You can bring as many as you like, but you will have to pay duty on all those over 200 brought from outside the UK. From July you cannot smoke in ANY public place, including pubs, clubs and restaurants. Smoking is banned in public places in Ireland. It,s just been banned in Wales and within the next 3 months it,ll be banned in England to, so save your money and give the stinking sticks up....lol |
