We are asked so many times what is the duty/tax free allowance for different countries that I decided to make this sticky to help everyone out.   If the country is part of the EU then duty free is NOT available to EU residents, but DUTY paid goods are subject to certain criteria. 
Please read  the information here
Hope this helps
special note.. remember if you purchase liquids prior to passing security control these MUST be packed in your hold luggage, only goods purchased after security in the duty payed shop can be carried on-board

                Hello, I find that since the tax changes thanks to the E U you may as well buy all your spirits at your local super market as they are cheaper than at the airports, or if you are going to buy them on holiday get them in resort, again cheaper than at the airport.

                Hi I believe the prices have changed lately can anybody give me a update on tobacco prices please i.e Goldedn Virginia.  
 
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
         
 
                
                
                
                                    
            
                
                VAT went up here in January. I bought 10 x 50g of Golden Virginia in town 2 weeks ago for €49,50. 200 UK brand cigs will be about 38 Euros ie half the UK price. Prices are the same everywhere.
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                The amounts  set for UK personal use changed last Oct, and I have heard you will be limited to these amounts at duty free Faro airport.
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                The allowances for passengers are put down as guidelines but you can take more but you may have to justify that it is for personal use. The allowances can be found at ___________________ website.
