Customs
EU nationals can take goods for personal consumption across EU borders without incurring duty, as long as they've paid the local tax at the place of purchase. Duty-free shopping no longer exists. However, there are still personal allowance limits on what were once duty-free goods - alcohol, tobacco and perfume - bought in EU countries. Each person is allowed up to 800 cigarettes, 400 cigarillos, 200 cigars, 1kg of smoking tobacco, 90 litres of wine (no more than 60 litres of which can be sparkling wine), 10 litres of spirits, 20 litres of fortified wine and 110 litres of beer. Residents of the US and Canada can take up to 200 cigarettes and one litre of spirits home, as can Australian citizens, while New Zealanders must confine themselves to 200 cigarettes, 4.5 litres of beer or wine and just over one litre of spirits.
