Government announces increased Duty Free allowances.
(From Government News Network)
] UK BORDER AGENCY 1 December 2008 Government announces increased Duty Free allowances
- Passengers arriving from outside EU benefit from new duty free laws -
From today (December 1) UK residents travelling from outside of the European Union will be able to bring back an increased amount of duty free shopping, following the first changes to customs allowances in 15 years.
The changes to current restrictions, announced by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) in partnership with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), see the allowance for goods such as electrical products and souvenirs double from GBP145 to GBP3001. Additional changes include:
* Increase from 2 litres to 4 litres of wine * New allowance of 16 litres of beer * Restrictions on volume of fragrance removed * Option to mix and match on tobacco products * Option to mix and match on alcohol products
The changes have been brought in by the EU to cover all member states with the intention to make duty free laws more in line with the needs of the travelling public. The updates follow a proposal in 2004 from the Chancellor of the Exchequer at that time, Gordon Brown.
