Duty Free

Overview

Spain is within the European Union. If you are travelling from the UK, you are entitled to buy fragrance, skincare, cosmetics, Champagne, wine, selected spirits, fashion accessories, gifts and souvenirs - all at tax-free equivalent prices. There are no longer any allowance restrictions on these tax-free items. The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla are treated as being outside of the EU with regards to duty free. If you are arriving from a non-EU country, the following goods may be imported into Spain by persons over 17 years of age without incurring customs duty:
• 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos or 50 cigars or 250g tobacco.
• 1L of spirits if exceeding 22% volume or 2L of alcoholic beverage not exceeding 22% volume and 2L of other wine.
• Gifts up to the value of €430 (€150 for children under 15 years old). EU nationals are not subject to duty free restrictions. The following items may be brought for personal use only:
• 800 cigarettes or 400 cigarillos or 200 cigars
• 1 kg of tobacco
• 10 litres of spirits, 20 litres of fortified wine (such as port or sherry) and 90 litres of wine (of which, a maximum of 60 litres of sparkling wine) or 110 litres of beer.

Prohibited Imports

Products of animal origin not from an EU-member are not permitted to be imported into Spain, with exception of limited amounts. Details can be found at www.europa.eu. Firearms and ammunitions are prohibited unless you have obtained authorisation from the local police in Spain. For hunting firearms, temporary import is allowed without special authorisation, but they must be declared on arrival.

Prohibited Exports

There are no restricted export items but there is a limit to the quantity of tobacco and alcoholic products you are exporting. For the Canary Islands, there are no restrictions.
