Duty-free cheer for travellers
Updated on 01 December 2008
New duty-free allowances more than double the value of personal goods European residents can bring back after travelling outside the EU.
The amount of wine that can be brought in has been increased, too, from two to four litres, as well one litre of other spirits and 16 litres of beer.
But, in a nod to health concerns over smoking, the EU regulations give national authorities the option to reduce the duty-free tobacco allowance from 200 cigarettes and 250 grams of tobacco to just 40 cigarettes and 50 grams of tobacco.
