Full details

AfCFTA tariff-elimination phasing in. ECOWAS / EAC / COMESA / CEMAC sub-regional rules add a layer. Personal-import duty-free threshold is Commercial parcels assessed at value; carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 19% VAT.
Leaving Algeria with consumer drone
Algeria prohibits the import and possession of consumer drones without authorisation; devices are confiscated at the border in both directions. Because possession itself requires authorisation that is rarely granted to private individuals, there is no routine personal-export pathway. Travellers transiting Algeria should not carry drones; devices found at departure screening are treated the same as at arrival.
Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. Direction Générale des Douanes publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://www.douane.gov.dz/.
