ronthenekred Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 So why can we only bring 200 fags back them?? Because if you brought 2000 and everyone was allowed the same the plane wouldn't get off the ground, if you include alcohol as well.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clegane Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If you are coming back from the Canary Islands, go through the blue channel at Customs and tell them - if questioned - that you have come from Spain. You will be telling the absolute truth - the Canaries are part of Spain, just as much as Barcelona is. But if no plane has arrived from Barcelona,they may suspect something, damn cunning these Border Agency types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLakeland Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Why not smoke a couple of thousand before you get on the plane and buzz of the nicotine for the next year..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickycheese Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The Canaries is in the EU, but is a 'Special Territory' : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_member_state_territories_and_the_European_Union#Canary_Islands This appears to allow it not to be part of the "European Union VAT area" and so not to follow the EU rules on VAT and special taxes on products like alcohol and tobacco. This means goods from there are considered 'imported' and duty needs to be paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 But if no plane has arrived from Barcelona,they may suspect something, damn cunning these Border Agency types. It would not matter. The Canary Islands are in Spain; he would be telling the truth. If they ask him precisely which airport, fair enough, but if they then start trying to claim that they are not part of the EU, they are wrong, plain and simple.
