Bringing stuff back to England

[MrBen5]

Not sure if this is the right section but i am going to Rhodes next week and wondered if it was ok to bring back things from there?
By that i mean souveniers, aftershave and stuff like that.
cheers...

shouldn't be any problem, all part of the European Union, though if you are opposed to Britain being part of Europe you may go through the red channel and insist on paying duty on it all. They may want you to put liquids like aftershave in the usual transparent bag, in quantities less than 100ml, if you have them in hand luggage.

Cheers, its just that when i came back from canary islands before i brought back 3 baseball bats(with spanish designs on) as souveniers and a about 5 bottles of davidoff aftershave and some perfume, but the customs were after taking it off me until i asked to see their boss.
I was thinking of bringing some souveniers of greece back this time.
No tobacco or anything as i dont smoke.

Why don't you and Grom's just pull together?

There'd be much more room if you utilised each others suitcases.

You can discuss it over dinner.

Also. I'll be wanting a present back from both of you. Don't forget now.

Have fun!

For customs purposes the Canaries are not fully in the EU - there are spcial rules
