What
Duty-frees You May Bring In to Poland .
Since
Poland is the European Union’s member state any goods from
the EU are exempt from customs duties. Excise duties are a
different story. EU directives clamp them on fuels, alcohol,
tobacco products, and perfumes, and Poland in its own right
extends the list further to an array of products, from cars to
playing cards. Some of those commodities are subject to
duty-free allowances, some are not. And, again, when the
allowances do apply, duty-free quotas are different for goods
brought from the other EU countries and from the rest of the
world.
Duty-free
allowances of alcohol.
From
the other countries of the European Union visitors are allowed
to bring in to Poland up to ten liters of duty-free strong
liquors such as vodka or whisky and twenty liters of alcoholic
drunks such as liqueur or port. Also, free of duties are 90
liters of EU wines (including 60 liters of sparkling wine) and
as much as 110 liters of beer.
As regards alcohol brought to Poland from non-EU countries,
duty-free allowances are one liter of strong liquors, two
liters of alcoholic drinks, two liters of wine, and five
liters of beer.
Duty-free
tobacco products.
Allowances
of tobacco from the UE cover 800 cigarettes, 200 cigars, and
one kilogram of pipe tobacco. From outside the EU one may
legally bring either 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 0.25 kg of
pipe tobacco without paying duties.
How
much perfume you don't need to declare.
In
general, perfumes and toilet waters brought in to Poland from
the rest of the EU in personal luggage are exempt from duties
as long as the quantity seems justified for personal
use.
Duty-free allowance of perfumes brought from outside the EU is
50 milliliters (1.7 fluid ounce), and 250 milliliters of eau
de toilette.
Other
goods.
As
regards other goodies you want to stuff your baggage with and
bring in to Krakow, they are exempt from duties as long as
they come directly from EU countries. Otherwise, their
combined value cannot exceed 175 euro or 90 euro in case of
minors (i.e. visitors under 18).
