Tobacco Allowance From Abroad

[HongKongphooey]

Does anyone know how much tobacco you can bring back from abroad? A friend has asked me to get some cos we are going to Turkey. Not being a smoker I have no idea what the allowances are TIA.

"Tobacco allowance

You can bring in one from the following:

200 cigarettes100 cigarillos50 cigars250g tobacco200 sticks of tobacco for electronic heated tobacco devices

You can split this allowance - so you could bring in 100 cigarettes and 25 cigars (both half of your allowance)."

There’s a lot of fake tobacco product on sale in Turkey. I have first hand experience.

I trust you will be making a gift of the tobacco to your friend. If you sell it you will be breaking the law.

NJ, are 'gifts' allowed? My son was told that it tobacco products are for 'personal use only'.

=======
If you’re travelling to Great Britain (England, Wales or Scotland) from outside the UK, your personal allowances mean you can bring in a certain amount of goods without paying tax or duty.

When you’re bringing in goods you must:

transport them yourself
use them yourself or give them away as a gift
