About this tool
Duty-free allowances cap how much you can bring home without paying duty. This calculator compares your spending or quantity with an allowance you enter, since allowances vary by country, product, and traveller age. Check your destination's official allowance before shopping.
Frequently asked questions
Do allowances differ for tobacco and alcohol?
Yes, and often sharply. Each product class usually has its own limit, so check them separately.
What happens if I exceed the allowance?
You may owe duty and tax on the excess, and undeclared excess can be confiscated, so declare honestly.
