Duty-Free Imports: New Rules for Travellers' Allowances into the European Union from 1 December 2008
added: 2008-12-01
From 1 December 2008, new rules on tax and duty free imports enter into force. Travellers will benefit from cost savings when importing goods into the EU in their personal luggage. At the same time, Member States will avoid administrative costs currently involved in collecting small amounts of duties and taxes.
