How much tobacco can you bring in hand luggage to England?
billzumm asked:
From Spain to England, if that matters? Just wondering as i’m not taking a big suitcase, just hand luggage, and I was wondering how much you could bring back. Also do you have to buy it in the airport or not?
Ok, i’m only planning on 500g or so. But is that hand luggage or big suitcases?

you should be able to bring a thousand, with out alerting customs.
anymore than that and they’ll probably question you.
just make sure you buy them in the local shop and not duty free, and then they won’t make open every single packet, take one and throw the single in the bin, ( yes they done this to me in Bristol airport) to prove they are not for resale evadukes
Since Spain and the UK are both EC members there is no limit to what you can bring back. The rules are that you must be old enough to smoke ( A child cannot bring back tobacco even as a gift for someone else) and it must be for your own consumption. That said expect hastle from customs if you have more than 3200 cigarettes.
If you have a passport from a country outside the EC then the old limits still apply but you could buy at duty free price. The duty free shop will have signs showing current limits.

By Tobacco, I assume that you mean of the rolling kind….. if this is the case, you can bring up to 3 Kilos, providing it is for your own use - it makes no difference whether this is in hand or hold luggage - Tumbit
