Under the treaty of Rome you can bring back as much DUTY PAID [no duty free in Europe] as you like however the HM customs have issued guidelines as listed above, if you exceed these be prepared to prove it is for PERSONAL use...... and yes its only this country that treats its people in such a way..

Last May I was stopped in Cardiff airport by customs.They asked if I smoked and then asked how many cigarettes I had in my case. I told them I had 14 cartons of cigarettes for my own use and 10 pouches of tobacco for my son-in-law. They checked this out and there was no problem---------thank goodness!

We usually bring back two bottles of bombay sapphire gin without any problem, think we could bring more but cigarettes and tobacco seem unlimited I'm a none smoker but have seen other people literally just filling up a shopping basket one lady spent 300 euro's plus and her husband well over 200 euro's so do not think there is a limit.

We flew back into Manchester from Thailand yesterday and the notices at the baggage carousels, concerning what you are allowed to bring in from countries within the EU, have changed. They no longer mention any "guidelines" and basically say that you are allowed to bring in any quantity of duty paid goods you want, so long as they are for personal use, INCLUDING gifts for friends and family. So it looks as though the EU have clamped down and told the UK authorities to get in line with the rest of Europe
