3 boxes of 200 i thinks

EU law says Unlimited for personal use from another EU country.
Irish Revenue officially however says 800 max.
Unoffcially/anecdotally whatever, they only start querying around the 3000 mark.

Also remember that certain areas of the EU you are limited to 200 only, places like Lanzarote, Tenerife.

general answer Four Cartons (200 each) in reality if you are a genuine smoker ,double or treble that, or more.

regards ,Rugbyman

perhaps the most generous allowance is the UK, which for the last six or seven years allow 16 cartons, they have since rowed back on this a bit, but if they are for your own consumption, no problem.

From the Smoking Forum charter.

Excise Duty
Do not use this forum to ask for/give advice on how to avoid paying excise duties.EU Customs and excise site

How many can I bring in?*
From within the EU, as many as you want, but you may be asked to explain yourself if you have more than 800. The customs officers' decision on whether they believe your story or not is final.

You can only bring 200 into the EU from outside, regardless of whether you paid duty when you bought them or not.

If I had any probs at customs I will correct them with this info :-)

Officially you can bring 800 boxes for personal consumption and 200 each for a family member. They're not that strict though. Just put them in your bag wrapped in some newspaper and you'll be grand

Thanks for the info people

They are for a work colleague.

So customs should be ok with 4 cartons per person.

I'd be a bit wary of driving a big truck on holiday.

Uberalles,
if they are being brought home by one person (A)but are for another(B), then they must be a present from the person who bought them(A).

If B plans to reimburse A, the limit is NIL

Not as much room as the lungs. We have two of them.

Maybe try the taxation forum?
