Poland duty free

Poland is within the European Union. If you are travelling from outside of the EU, you are entitled to buy fragrance, skincare, cosmetics, Champagne, wine, selected spirits, fashion accessories, gifts and souvenirs - all at tax-free equivalent prices.

Poland's duty-free allowance for travellers from EU countries:

If you are over 17 years old, you are free to buy and take goods with you when travelling between EU countries, provided that you have paid tax on these goods and they are for your own use (not for sale). However, if you bring in more than the following, customs officials are likely to question you:
• 800 cigarettes; 400 cigarillos; 200 cigars; 1kg of tobacco.
• 90L of still wine (of which may be not more than 60L of sparkling wine).
• 110L of beer.
• 20L fortified wine (such as port or sherry).
• 10L of ethyl alcohol.

Beware that each EU country has different rules for travellers under 17 years old. Please check before you travel.

Poland's duty-free allowance for travellers from non-EU countries:

If you are arriving from a non-EU country, the following goods may be imported into Poland by travellers without incurring customs duty:

• Air and sea travellers with a minimum age of 17 years: 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos (max 3 grams each) or 50 cigars or 250g of tobacco; 50ml liquids for electronic cigarettes; 40g innovative tobacco products.

• Land travellers with a minimum age of 17 years: 40 cigarettes or 20 cigarillos (max 3 grams each) or 10 cigars or 50g of tobacco; 10ml liquids for electronic cigarettes; 8g innovative tobacco products.

You may combine any of these tobacco products provided you do not exceed the total limit.

• Visitors over 17 years old may also import 4L of wine and 16L of beer and 1L of spirits over 22% volume, or 2L of alcoholic beverages less than 22% volume, or a proportional mix of these products provided the limit is not exceeded.

• Other goods up to the value of €430 for air and sea travellers and €300 for other travellers (reduced to €150 for children under 15).
