Hi All

Im wondering if someone can help?!? A friend of mine is going to Ayia Napa on sunday and wants to know about cigarette allowances..Am I right in thinking that they can bring back 3200 cigarettes each plus an amount of tobbacco as its an EU country, just wanted clarification on this as she had been told different

Looking forward to your responses

Re: Cigarettes?!?

Ummmmmmmmmm - can't remember that sorry :think

No......I know about cigs as I smoke myself and it's 3200 as long as it's for personal use, MUCH cheaper than UK prices even with the change to the Euro........I'll be buying more when we go back in September!

Re: Cigarettes?!?

Have a look at this web-site http://www.customs.hmrc.gov.uk
check 'travelling to the UK from the EU' and scroll down - you'll get how much cigarettes/tobacco/beer etc etc you can bring back x

Re: Cigarettes?!?

3200 is just a guideline not a law so im led to belive so you can bring back more but need to prove they are for yourself

I'm afraid your wrong........Cyprus is in the EU now which means 3,200 cigs (guidline) and has been since they joined, check the link above to the customs website if your in any doubt.

Re: Cigarettes?!?

Hi Colleen, fancy bumping into you here. :rofl

sorry to say but you are not correct.
Cyprus is in the EU (that's obviously not including the Turkish occupied part) and the previous entries are correct, you can bring back up to 3200 fags, and have been able to for about the last 2 years.

Regards, Julian.

Re: Cigarettes?!?

if you want to get technical ALL of Cyprus was admitted to the EU, however the equerries for the north are suspended pending a settlement on the island, so both of you are correct, from the TRNC you can only bring back the minimum amount and from the RC you can bring your full EU quoter....

What am I allowed to bring back through Duty free?

I have been told that I can bring back unlimited amount of booze and fags back from Cyprus, as long as its for my own consumption. Is this the case? obviously I wont be bring back 1000 fags or 20 bottles of cypriot brandy.

Can anyone confirm this is the case?
