feebee_71 Posted May 13, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2008 One thing to remember about bringing duty free items back into the UK from Europe is this............. When travelling from Gibraltar, you can bring the following into the UK for your own use without paying UK tax or duty (if you are under 17 you cannot have the tobacco and alcohol allowances). Type of Duty-Paid Goods Amount Cigarettes 200 or Cigarillos 100 Cigars 50 Tobacco 250g Spirits, strong liqueurs over 22% vol, fortified or sparkling wine or liqueurs 1 litre spirits or strong liqueurs or 2 litres of fortified or sparkling wine or liqueurs Still table wine 2 litres Perfume and toilet water 60cc of perfume or 250cc of toilet water Gifts, souvenirs, other goods £145 The same amounts apply to passengers visiting The Channel Islands Feebee_71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
