Questions on customs duty relating to cigarettes

    I'm considering ordering some cigarettes from Indonesia but I don't want to have to deal with all that tax crap. According to the site there is a law stated by the EU if you order less than 200 cigarettes they can't place any taxs on the cigarettes.

    Anyone clarify for me if this is true or not?:confused:

    Your duty free allowance is 200, if you're bringing them in yourself on a plane or boat. But I don't know if the same applies for posting them in.

    You're not allowed to bring any in by post tax-free. However, there are sites that you can order from who will send them anyway. I did once and they got through alright - although they were Kyrgyzstani fags which were a good bit stronger than the same brand over here! Cost was about €2 per pack. I'm guessing I'm not allowed to say here where I bought them though....
