Albania Customs says travelers entering Albania are exempt from import duties for goods contained in personal luggage when the goods are non-commercial. Duty-free treatment is therefore available within the published passenger limits.
Algeria
Algeria allows traveller relief only for personal effects and limited passenger quantities such as tobacco and alcohol. Duty-free treatment depends on staying within the official traveller allowance and not bringing goods for resale.

Why the page is intentionally light
The new site should show a stable layout, a stable route, and clear source slots before the dataset is scaled up again. That keeps management simple and makes later official-source population safer.
