How much tobacco and alcohol can you bring into the UK?
Reminder: These specific details are subject to change, so it's important to stay updated on official announcements for the most accurate information.
There are restrictions on bringing tobacco, alcohol, and other goods into the UK. Tobacco and alcohol must be for adults who are 18 years old or above. Individuals who are 17 years old or below must pay taxes on tobacco and alcohol they bring.
Allowances for bringing into the UK:
Tobacco:
200 cigarettes,
or 100 cigarillos,
or 50 cigars,
or 250 grams of tobacco (including shisha tobacco)
Note: It's not possible to bring 200 cigarettes and 100 cigarillos together. You can choose one category or make your own combination. For example, if you bring 100 cigarettes, you still have 50% of the allowance to bring other tobacco products.
Alcohol:
You can only bring:
1 liter of spirits or strong liquor (with an alcohol content exceeding 22%),
or 2 liters of fortified wine (such as port or sherry), sparkling wine,
or 16 liters of beer,
or 4 liters of still wine (not sparkling wine),
or any other beverages with an alcohol content below 22%.
Note: You can choose only one category of alcohol or create your own combination. Please note that this does not refer to combining cigarettes and alcohol but rather selecting different types of alcohol.
If you exceed these limits, you must declare and pay taxes. Failure to do so may result in fines, confiscation, or other penalties. It's important to note that duty-free purchases of alcohol and tobacco and previously taxed cigarettes and alcohol have no quantity limits, provided they are for personal use or as gifts and not for commercial purposes.
Upon inspection of your tobacco and alcohol, customs officers may ask you a few simple questions, including but not limited to: the type of cigarettes or alcohol you are carrying, the reason for purchase, the method of payment, whether they are opened or new, and your typical consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, etc.
