Everyone wants to bring back some cheap alcohol or cigarettes when abroad and the duty free shops are the perfect answer. But you need to know what your allowance is otherwise you can end up paying some hefty fines or just leaving your duty free behind!
Here are the quantities you are allowed to bring back to the UK:
- 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 e.g. port or sherry






If you have so much in your suitcase and you bring over your limit in your hand lugguage they cant possible know that you have gone over your limit?
Plus what are the chances of getting court-i know folk who go iover regular for fags a and booze.Mind you it isnt so cheap now/
Some airlines are actually asking to weigh peoples hand luggage now as there are limits to this as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they introduced overall limits to cover your baggage and you as well.
