    When travelling from the EU (list below) and all Airports in Spain to the UK you do not have to pay any tax or duty on goods you have bought in another EU country as long as tax was included in the price when you purchased the items, the items are for your own use, and have been transported to the UK by you. This includes gifts, but does not include any item that is intended to be used as payment or to be resold.

    If you bring back large quantities of alcohol or tobacco from Spain, a Customs Officer is more likely to ask about the purposes for which you hold the goods. This will most likely be the case if you appear at the airport with more than:


    Duty Free / Tax Allowance from Spain

    3200 cigarettes

    400 cigarillos

    200 cigars

    3 kg of smoking tobacco

    110 litres of beer

    10 litres of spirits

    90 litres of wine

    20 litres of fortified wine i.e.: port or sherry

    Please note that the Canary Islands are not part of this agreement and as such you are restricted in what goods you can take back to the UK.

    Duty Free / Tax Allowance from Canary Islands

    200 cigarettes; or 100 cigarillos; or 50 cigars; or 250 gms of tobacco

    2 litres of still table wine

    1 litre of spirits or strong liqueurs over 22% volume; or 2 litres of fortified wine, sparkling wine or other liqueurs

    60cc/ml of perfume

    250cc/ml of toilet water

    £145 worth of all other goods including gifts and souvenirs
