If you are flying within the European Union you are entitled to Tax Free prices on:
- fragrances
- cosmetics and skincare
- jewellery and souvenirs
- photographic and electrical goods
- fashion and accessories
- gifts
There are no longer any allowance restrictions on these Tax Free items. And, if you are flying outside the European Union you are entitled to your full allowance of goods at Tax and Duty Free prices.
Duty Free Cyprus Allowances – Travelling back from inside the EU
You do not have to pay any tax or duty on goods you have bought in Cyprus. Please note that there are conditions that apply to your allowances:
- If you are under 17 you cannot have the tobacco and alcohol allowances
- You are entitled to these allowances only if you travel with the goods and do not sell them
- If you bring in something worth more than your other goods allowance, you must pay charges on the full value, not just the value above the allowance
- You and anyone you are travelling with cannot pool your individual other goods allowances to bring in an item worth more than the limit. The person bringing the item in will have to pay charges on the full value of the item
How much can you actually bring back from Cyprus?
If you bring back any more than listed below, a Customs Officer is more likely to ask about the purposes for which you hold the goods:
