Serbia treats a laptop, tablet or smartphone configured for personal use as part of personal luggage, but goods newly bought abroad to stay in Serbia are not treated the same way. Items temporarily imported for the stay must be declared.

Albania

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.

YesTravel

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.

DependsTravel

Argentina

Argentina allows travelers to bring in goods within the baggage and duty-free allowances set by ARCA customs guidance. The exemption depends on the travel route and the value or quantity limits that apply.

YesTravel

Australia

Australias duty free concessions apply only within the stated limits and going over the limits means duty and tax apply on all goods of that type.

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.
