β More Questions
Can I bring menthol TEREA sticks to the Netherlands?
For personal use within your allowance, yes β the Dutch flavour restrictions target what may be sold locally, not what a traveller carries for personal consumption. Expect limited or no local availability of menthol/flavoured sticks, so bring what you need within the 200-stick allowance.
What is the tobacco allowance flying into Amsterdam from outside the EU?
200 cigarettes-equivalent per adult β heated tobacco sticks count the same as cigarettes, so one carton (10 packs). From another EU country the personal-use guideline is 800 sticks. Declare anything above at Schiphol customs.
