But surely there is a threshold here?for personal use.
Not being a smoker, I wouldn't be sure. But under EU law, there's no requirement that the personal.use be for the "near term." No reason at all why one can't import a few years supply if it's for personal use.But surely there is a threshold here?
I can’t reasonably claim 5,000 cigarettes are for my personal use in the near term.
Intra-EU is completely different to Duty Free which is what the OP was asking aboutI thought the guidelines were 800 intra-EU but in reality you can bring as much as you want for your personal use. Do they allow 15 to 16 cartons but question anything over that?
No. They're asking about duty free (Perth-Singapore-Frankfurt) and intra EU (Frankfurt-Dublin).Intra-EU is completely different to Duty Free which is what the OP was asking about
Am not a smoker either but 50 a day is very hard to manage given all workplaces and indoor public places forbid it!Anyway, I believe that some smokers go through 50 a day. So 5000 would be about three months worth. Seems like personal use to me.

Revenue write here that 800 is “generally considered “ personal use. The language is imprecise on purpose but there must in practical terms be a hard limit.
A lot of cases would be scanned before you collect them off the conveyor belt so they know exactly which cases too look out for.In terms of risk, I think I've made 300 intra-EU flights or ferry trips as an adult and have never had luggage inspected on arrival for cigarettes.
