There is no limit to the amount of taxable goods you can bring into the UK from most EU states. But Customs & Excise may stop you if you bring back large quantities of alcohol and tobacco to determine whether they are for personal use. Expect to attract their attention if you arrive from an EU country with more than:

• 3200 cigarettes
  
• 400 cigarillos
  
• 200 cigars
  
• 3kg smoking tobacco
  
• 10 litres of spirits
  
• 20 litres of fortified wine
  
• 90 litres of wine
  
• 110 litres of beer.
  

Can you imagine it.....Yes this all for my personal use.....:biggrinxmas:

Hi Rachel

 

Great isn't it? It is based upon the fact that you are on annual holiday and therefore this lot is supposed to last you a year. Try telling that to the folk who go on "booze cruises" to France and back bringing all their swag with them.
