Country overview

Iceland currently has 9 starter rules across 2 topics. The current sample skews toward restricted rows, which is useful for layout testing but not yet a full legal baseline.
Starter activities in Iceland
These rows prove the country hub works as a useful browse page before the full dataset is researched.
bring medical cannabis into a country
The official Iceland page on what may be brought or ordered into the country says narcotic or addictive substances may not be imported and specifically includes cannabis for medicinal use.
bringing duty free goods
Iceland allows travellers to bring in duty-free goods within the published personal allowances. The allowances cover items such as alcohol, tobacco and limited quantities of food, subject to the listed conditions.
bring food into a country
Iceland allows certain food imports in traveller luggage, but the duty-free page limits the total food quantity and also says some products such as meat and dairy from outside the EEA cannot be brought in under the traveller allowance.
bring tobacco over the allowance
Iceland sets specific traveller tobacco allowances. Once you go over the allowance, the duty-free concession no longer covers the goods and customs rules need to be checked for the import.
bring vapes into a country
Iceland allows certain nicotine products and vaping products to be brought in by travellers, but the official page sets quantity limits for nicotine pouches, disposable e-cigarettes and refill liquids.
monitoring staff
Icelandic data-protection guidance says monitoring employee work performance is only permitted in certain cases and requires a privacy assessment before it begins.
recording conversations
Icelandic data-protection guidance does not treat audio recording as a free-for-all. The official page says conversations between other people may not be recorded unless they agree, and repeated or ongoing recording can amount to electronic monitoring.
recording people in public
Icelandic data-protection guidance allows some camera monitoring of private property, but it also says online publication of pictures or video involving identifiable people is not generally free from data-protection rules. Recording people in public therefore depends on the setup, purpose and later use of the footage.
