SevenofNine Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm flying to Dublin tommorow to see my partner who is working in Dublin for 3months. He's asked me to take out alot of hand rolling tobacco for him as it's very expensive out there. I'm abit unsure if I can carry so much with me in my luggage, I'm going with ryanair. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Roy Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 They are in the EU so you can (in theory) take as much as you like. There will be info on the HMRC site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to prove it was for personal use for it to be unlimited. Otherwise it's a kilo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're taking 3 months worth and you're only out there for a week make sure that you state it is a (free) gift for your partner - if there is any payment from him than it's no longer a gift and they can seize it.

crookesey Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 UK Revenue and Customs tell lies, they state that 3200 cigarettes for personal consumption is the recommended amount to bring back into the UK. This has no basis in law, anything good applicable to the EU is nothing to do with us, however anything bad is stuffed right up us. We didn't join the single currency, but our pensions and investments are in free fall because of it. You can bring back as much as you wish, as long as it doesn't exceed your baggage weight allowance. Don't listen to the failing tax collectors, but remember to bring back a receipt for your purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
