Duty Free Cyprus Allowances – Travelling back from inside the EU

You do not have to pay any tax or duty on goods you have bought in Cyprus. Please note that there are conditions that apply to your allowances:

If you are under 17 you cannot have the tobacco and alcohol allowances
You are entitled to these allowances only if you travel with the goods and do not sell them
If you bring in something worth more than your other goods allowance, you must pay charges on the full value, not just the value above the allowance
You and anyone you are travelling with cannot pool your individual other goods allowances to bring in an item worth more than the limit. The person bringing the item in will have to pay charges on the full value of the item

How much can you actually bring back from Cyprus?

If you bring back any more than listed below, a Customs Officer is more likely to ask about the purposes for which you hold the goods:

3200 cigarettes
400 cigarillos
200 cigars
3kg tobacco
10 liters of spirits
20 liters of fortified wine
90 liters of wine
110 liters of beer

Anyone with purchases inside the limits are entitled to walk through the green channel at Customs posts at airports. However, customs officers can randomly search passenger luggage. So, anyone found to have shopping in excess of these limits is liable to pay duty on purchases.
