Abolition of duty-free goods within the EU
Abolition of the duty free goods within the EU: On 30 June
1999, the sale of duty-free alcohol and tobacco at airports
and at sea was abolished in all of the original 15 EU member
states. Of the 10 new member states which joined the EU on
May 1st 2004, these rules already apply to Cyprus and Malta.
There are also transitional rules in place for visitors returning
to one of the original 15 EU countries from one of the other
new EU countries. But for the original 15, plus Cyprus and
Malta, there are now no limits imposed on importing tobacco
and alcohol products from one EU country to another (with
the exceptions of Denmark, Finland and Sweden, where limits
are imposed). Travellers should note that they may be required
to prove at customs that the goods purchased are for personal
use only. |
