Can anyone advice as a little confused

We are cruiseing from southampton and returning to southampton again .We would like to buy some duty free when away, some cigarettes and alcohol ( within the limits ) Now bringing it back into Southampton is ok but then we have a flight from Southampton to Belfast , will this be an issue? We will have already brought these goods into the UK so are just continuing on our journey with them.

    The only issue will be the alcohol, it will be in excess of the amount you can take in your hand luggage, so it will have to be packed in your checked luggage.

    As above, you will have to comply with the flight hand baggage rules, which will mean putting your bottles of booze into your checked in luggage. :)

    There is no issue as far as customs goes.
