Should tell you on there somewhere.

A quick google and the first 3 websites I found said 200

Here

& Here

Also

The 2nd one mentions that it comes under the rule of coming back from outside the EU so the limit is lower.

There is no limit as long as it is all for personal use.

If you bring to much back then you might have to justify how you can possibly use so much and can face confistaion fines even jail if you cant.

I think its more than 200 if its in the EU??...im only allowed to bring back 200 from my usual trips to Canada.

Certain EU countries still have a 200 limit imposed.

Estonia - 200 cigarettes or 250g of smoking tobacco.
Bulgaria, Lithuania and Romania - 200 cigarettes.

Yeah that's what I thought but it mentions that Gibraltar doesn't have the same VAT laws as the EU so the limit is only 200.

Very very cheap there. No tax at all and the shops don't make up for that.

Dj_Jestar · 28 May 2009 at 13:01

Within the EU, you can buy as many as you like. Duty is paid on items within EU. This also means there isn't much point as they won't be that cheap.

ah if its classed as outside the EU then the rules are different and there is a limit.

There is no limit on alcohol and tobacco if its within the EU, as long as you can prove its for personal use.

There is lots of point, depends where you by them, try Portugal, £3.50 a packet as opposed to £5.60 here.
