Duty free from tenerife?

Does anyone know the duty free limit for cigarettes from tenerife Thanks

Hi just come back from tenerife,can tell you for a fact the limit is 200 ciggies,and 1 litre of spirits.Please be aware that the customs will ensure that you go through the goods to declare/not declare channels and will not let you proceede through the euro channel as they watch for the flights coming in.The canary islands are not part of the eu as they are designated as a duty free zone,along the same lines as the channel islands of jersey/guernsey e.t.c.

theres not one as such but customs get shirty if you try and bring back thousands. dont get them at airport or on plane much cheaper in local shops

If you bring in goods on which tax has been paid in an EU country, you do not have to pay any tax or duty on them in the UK. However any alcohol or tobacco you bring in must be for your own use and transported by you.

Own use鈥?includes goods for your own consumption and gifts. If you bring in goods for resale, or for any payment, even payment kind, they are regarded as being for a commercial purpose.

But there are special rules for cigarettes and some tobacco products from some EU countries.

The EU Countries are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus*, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, The Irish Republic, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (but not the Canary Islands), Sweden, The UK (but not the Channel Islands).

Though the whole of Cyprus is part of the EU, goods from any area of Cyprus not under effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus are treated as non-EU imports.

Although Gibraltar is part of the EU, it is outside the Community Customs territory. The Customs allowances for outside the EU therefore apply.

Alcohol or tobacco
If you are bringing in alcohol or tobacco goods and we have reason to suspect they may be for a commercial purpose, a Customs officer may ask you questions and make checks, for example about:

the type and quantity of goods you have bought
why you bought them
how you paid for them
whether all your goods are openly displayed or concealed
how often you travel how much you normally smoke or drink or
any other relevant circumstances.
You are particularly likely to be asked questions if you have more than:

3200 cigarettes, 200 cigars, 400 cigarillos, 3kg tobacco, 110 litres of beer, 90 litres of wine, 10 litres of spirits, 20 litres of fortified wine (such as port or sherry).

The officer will take into account all the factors of the situation and your explanation.

If we are satisfied that the goods are for a commercial purpose we may seize them and any vehicle used to transport them, and may not return them to you.

If you are caught selling alcohol or tobacco goods they may be seized, and for a serious offence you could get up to seven years in prison.

The country where you buy tobacco goods may have its own laws on how much you can buy or have in your possession, and what documents you need. If in doubt, check with that country鈥檚 authorities before you buy.

If you let a coach, ferry or aircraft store your goods while travelling back to the UK you must make sure when you arrive in the UK that you collect the exact goods you bought.

200 is the limit as its outside the EU,dont be tempted to put in more.

200duty free

You should be able to pick up a leaflet at the airport. The limit is well stingy, however, when I recently got back from Teneriffe, there was no body at the declarations and could have brought back as much as I wanted.

You are only allowed 200 ciggies from tenerife, altho the islands belong to Spain they areNOT IN THE EU.

you can fetch what you want, but they are not mega cheap in tenerife, reading the other replies, cant remember
