As we all know Brexit has taken place, this has meant that there are a lot of changes and some of those changes include new rules for duty-free allowances. But this shouldn't be too much of a cause for concern as there is still a lot you can bring to the UK. Below we will talk about the new rules for both alcohol and tobacco allowances.
The goods that you'll be taking into the UK, must be for yourself. You may use them personally or give them away as a gift. You must make sure that the goods do not exceed the limit you're allowed,however, if you do, then you need to declare that before landing in the UK, in whichever category they fit. We will go over the different categories below!
You are allowed to bring a considerable amount of alcohol. The set allowances are:
For tobacco allowance, there is a fair amount available too! The limits are:
For those under 17, unfortunately, there is no personal duty-free allowance allowed. But this doesn't stop you from buying duty-free goods, it merely means that if you did, you'd have to pay taxes on the goods bought before landing in the UK.
Want to bring other goods too? Well, you are allowed to bring £390 worth of other goods duty-free! Of course, you can bring more if you want to but then you'd be paying duty and tax on the total sum of the goods.So, not just the amount that's gone over the limit, but the full amount that you'll be bringing into the UK. So we highly recommend you stick to the limit that's allowed, especially because you may have to pay import VAT on it too as well as duty and tax.
You can choose to do your duty free shopping from the comfort of your own home with London City; simply select the items you wish to purchase, and once you're at the airport, pick them up and that's it! What's more, you get 10% off every pre-order* you make online! Who doesn't want that?!
*This however does not apply to alcoholic drinks.
