❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring cigarettes from duty-free shops?

Yes, duty-free cigarettes count toward your allowance. The duty-free label doesn't mean unlimited quantity. If you exceed the country's limit (e.g., 200 cigarettes), you must pay duty on the excess amount at your destination.
