📝 Important Notes
- •Up to 200 cigarettes per traveller: If you also carry cigars or other tobacco, all tobacco combined must weigh no more than 250g and cigarettes must still stay within 200.
- •Mixing is permitted: Cigars and cigarettes can share the 250g combined allowance, but cigarettes must never exceed 200. The mixed allowance is not 250g of cigars plus another 200 cigarettes. Weigh the tobacco products; cigar sizes vary, so there is no fixed equivalent number of cigars.
- •If you exceed it: Thai Customs instructs passengers to place excess tobacco in its surrender boxes to avoid prosecution. Do not assume that declaring and paying duty lets you keep the excess. Ask an officer before passing the checkpoint if unsure.
- •Customs channel: Within the allowance, with no other dutiable, restricted or prohibited goods, use the green channel. These conventional-tobacco allowances do not authorise electronic cigarettes or vaping products; check their separate rules.
