Cigarettes and airplanes?

Question

I am leaving this Friday to Spain and my mom heard you can only have 2 cartons of cigarettes in your suitcases and that is all your allowed. Is that true? I know you can purchase them in the Duty Free store which is what I plan to do as well but am wondering if there really is a limit of cigarettes in your suitcase.

Answer 1

Actually you are only allowed one carton or 200 cigarettes per person duty-free. In most cases you can bring as many as you want within reason, but you legally you should declare any amount over 200 cigarettes and pay duty on them.

the following items duty-free: one portable typewriter, and one video camera or two still cameras with 10 rolls of film each; one portable radio, one tape recorder, and one laptop PC per person are admitted free of duty provided they show signs of use; 400 cigarettes, or 50 cigars, or 250 grams of tobacco are admitted; and 2 liters of wine or 1 liter of liquor per person over 17 years of age are admitted. For sports equipment you are allowed fishing gear, one bicycle, skis, tennis or squash racquets, and golf clubs.
