According to this.... http://www.heathrow-airport-guide.co.uk/dutyfree.html

Duty Free Allowance / Tax Free Allowance


When travelling from the EU* to the UK you do not have to pay any tax or duty on goods you have bought in another EU country as long as tax was included in the price when you purchased the items, the items are for your own use, and have been transported to the UK by you. This includes gifts, but does not include any item that is intended to be used as payment or to be resold.

If you bring back large quantities of alcohol or tobacco, a Customs Officer is more likely to ask about the purposes for which you hold the goods. This will most likely be the case if you appear at the airport with more than:



3200 cigarettes
400 cigarillos
200 cigars
3 kg of smoking tobacco
110 litres of beer
10 litres of spirits
90 litres of wine
20 litres of fortified wine i.e.: port or sherry

Please note the following exceptions stand for these EU countries:

From Czech Republic - 200 cigarettes or 250g of smoking tobacco or 50 cigars or 100 cigarillos
From Estonia - 200 cigarettes or 250g of smoking tobacco*
From Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia or Slovenia - 200 cigarettes*

*No limit of on other tobacco products as long as they are for your own use.


* The EU countries currently include: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus (Greek part), Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Irish Republic, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (but not the Canary Islands), Sweden and the United Kingdom (but not the Channel Islands).

 

Cant you go to the Canaries as there only 15-18 Euros for 200 Marlboro lights? Thats so unconsiderate of you if there Ł25 I'll have a few hundred

 

cheers for that lynne

so if i buy 3200, that Ł320 then sell a pack of 200 for Ł30 i stand to gain Ł160?


have i got that right?

 

Nath



read the last bit, they not included as i found out last year

 

Redkop


so if i fill a suit case say 4000 fags i can walk straight through no probs????

as there will be 2 of us, and the limit is 3200 each?

 

im going to gran canaria in a few months, i will bring a pile home

 

only 400 each

 

depends how much they are in cyprus, anyway my cost price ones will eat into your profit margin

 

bollox

 

yeah it's a twat as they were Ł11 for 200

 

i'm sure you wont pay to much for them

 

Yup... 3200 each if you are in the Greek part of Cyprus and all fags are the same brand. You start bringing through a lot of different brands they will assume you're going to sell them on.

 

ok, so as long as they all the same, of just 2 brand (one each person) i'll be fine


oh god, as a non smoker which do i get?

 

lambert and butler will sell no probs

 

bring as many as you can fit in your case,in time i have done runs from spain to the u.k with 60 sleeves(200,s) it pays for your holiday and more ,you,ll clear 30-35 in england without a doubt,make sure you have a lighter and an opened packet ín your pocket coming back through customs
