British tourism regulations

Entry and exit customs

In Britain, most ports and airports provide three public exits or "passages", and some only provide one exit. Passengers who need to declare can do so through the telephone number provided in the red area.

In the following cases, inbound passengers should take the red channel:

Carrying items that need to be declared; or

Carrying commodities of a trading nature; or

Carrying tobacco products from other EU countries that exceed the import quota; or

It is not clear whether it is necessary to declare personal belongings.

If you enter the UK from a non-EU country, please take the green channel for inbound passengers under the following circumstances:

The articles carried shall not exceed the customs regulations; and

No contraband or restrictions.

If you enter the UK from an EU country, please take the blue channel for inbound passengers under the following circumstances:

Do not carry contraband and restricted items; and

The tobacco products carried shall not exceed the corresponding export quota.

Goods that have already paid customs duties in other parts of the EU do not need to pay customs duties.

Bearing limit

If you enter the UK from a non-EU country, you can't bring more than:

200 cigarettes; Or 100 short cigar; Or 50 cigars; Or 250 grams of tobacco.

2 liters of table wine

1 liter of spirits or spirits above 22 degrees; Or 2 liters of specialty wine (such as Burt or sherry), sparkling wine, etc.

60 ml perfume

250ml eau de toilette

Gifts and souvenirs with a total value of 145.

If there is no overrun, please take the green channel. If the carried articles exceed the limit, please go through the red channel or make customs declaration through the consultation telephone provided in the red area. Otherwise, it will be considered illegal and you may face charges.

Please note:

It is forbidden for people under 17 to bring tobacco and alcoholic beverages into the UK.

Articles can be brought within the above limits, but they must be for personal use, and reselling is strictly prohibited.

If the total value of the goods you carry exceeds 145, you must pay the original price of the goods.

It is forbidden to bring articles with peer availability exceeding 145, otherwise it will be paid according to the original price of the articles.

If you bring duty-free goods you bought when you left Britain, they will also be counted in the quota.

If you arrive with tobacco and alcohol purchased in other parts of the EU (except those exceeding the quota of tobacco products) for your own use, and you have already paid the customs duty, you don't need to pay the customs duty if you can produce a valid receipt.
