Compare this activity in other countries
This makes the rule page useful for comparison without creating a second data source.
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.

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.
