This activity currently has 70 starter country rows in the reset dataset. The current sample leans toward restricted outcomes, which is enough to test browse flows without pretending the dataset is complete.
Starter comparison cards
These show the countries currently mapped for this activity in the reset dataset.
Finland
Finland does not let travellers exceed the applicable tobacco import limits just by paying more duty. The official customs guidance says the import quantities may not be exceeded.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka Customs states through its passenger services directorate that cigarettes, cigars, beedies and snuff are not allowed to be imported as personal baggage. Bringing tobacco over the allowance is therefore not a lawful traveller option on the official guidance reviewed here.
Thailand
Thailand allows only limited duty-free tobacco for arriving passengers. Thai Customs says excess cigarettes or tobacco must be dropped in the customs box, otherwise prosecution will be carried out.
Albania
Albania allows certain tobacco products in passenger traffic, but the customs relief is tied to passenger allowances and non-commercial personal luggage. Tobacco over the allowance loses the benefit of the passenger exemption and should be declared.
Algeria
Algeria's official customs leaflet allows only limited personal tobacco quantities on entry. Bringing more than the published passenger allowance is not duty-free and falls outside the simplified traveller relief.
Argentina
Argentina's baggage rules set duty-free limits for tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars depending on the travel route. Bringing more than the allowance takes you outside the automatic exemption.
Austria
Austria allows tobacco to be brought in within traveller allowances, but goods above the allowance must be declared and duties become payable.
Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan Customs allows adults to bring in 200 cigarettes duty-free under the traveller rules. Amounts above that are outside the stated duty-free allowance.
