    I'm interested to see how many people are doing this and getting away with it, also where do you buy them from?

    Shouldn't this be in the brand-spanking new 'Bargain Alerts [Requests]' forum so?

    .. oh wait... it is!

    Carry on.

    Kemos: Post removed. That's naughty. There is to be no discussion of illegal activity - i.e. Avoiding customs charges, exceeding importing allowances, etc.
    OP: Use the search function.

    Yes there is :)

    PM me for access.

    I used to but then one day i got a letter from customs saying they were holding my 200 cigs until i pay a customs and excise bill of Ir£85. 200 cigs in the shops were only about IR£60 at the time. Haven't bothered since.

    Same reason people buy cds online?
    getting away with it
    It can be done legally.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,449 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    Seeing as you can transport goods freely within the EU, surely it would be possible to order them legally online from Spain, or somewhere, with much lower taxes on them?

    Any business expert here know if that's true?

    Are we allowed post sites or is there some rule against that here on boards?

    Been discussed in a lot of old threads, it is legal. I think it is legal to send from anywhere, you are simply liable to pay duty, it is not illegal. But within the EU I think you are not liable for duty on low amounts, or else they just dont bother.

    With one place you set up a standing order for 6months or so. Every single day you get a pack of 20 in the post. All above board, but is it worth the while for an post to go through the administration costs to collect the €5-6 duty every single day. To process a duty collection must cost around €5 at least.

    That looks to be from before the court ruling

    yeah I guess so.

    I'm coming home for xmas, and bringing as many ciggies as I can. I'd rather pay the duty in Germany than give 1 Cent to the robbing basta*ds in the Irish Govt.;)

    Ah, don't mind my hungover head so...
    Yeah smokes online, I always distrusted foreign smokes...they usually all taste like Camels IME, also dubious about some sites perhaps selling imitation fags packed with sawdust and floor sweepings.
