Default Travelling within the European Union (EU) - Alcohol & tobacco and UK Customs


There are no limits to the amount of duty and / or tax paid alcohol and tobacco, to bring you in the United Kingdom, as long as they are for your own use or gifts and are transported by you.

When you bring in alcohol or tobacco and they have reason to believe they could for a commercial purpose, may request an officer Questions and checks.

For example, on:

the type and quantity of goods you have bought,

why you bought them,

how to pay for them,

whether all your goods are openly displayed or covered,

how often you travel,

how much you normally smoke or drink,

any other relevant circumstances.

They tend to ask if you have questions more than:

3200 cigarettes
200 cigars
400 cigarillos
3kg tobacco
110 liters of beer
90 liters of wine
10 liters of spirits
20 liters of fortified wine (such as Port or sherry).

Please note that the country where you buy tobacco may have its own laws, how much tobacco can to hold or buy. If you are unsure, check with Authorities of that country before you buy.
