Full details

Beer duty-free allowances are often larger by volume than spirits allowances due to lower alcohol content, though these vary significantly by country. The UK permits up to 42 liters of beer duty-free. Australia allows 2.25 liters of any alcohol duty-free. New Zealand permits 4.5 liters of beer. Saud

QUANTITY CHECK

litres

Duty-free: 1L of wine or spirits, 200 cigarettes or 250g of tobacco per adult. Personal effects and goods valued up to THB 15,000 (approx. USD $430) may enter duty-free. Bringing in more than two mobile phones requires declaration.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Standard beer allowance typically 16L per traveler 18+. Above the allowance, excise + 7% VAT applies.
