200 cigarettes duty-free

Details

Canada allows travelers over 18 to bring 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, 200g tobacco, and 200 tobacco sticks duty-free. Quantities above the allowance face high excise duties. Travelers should keep items in original packaging where applicable. No special customs procedures required for personal quantities within standard duty-free allowances. Declare if exceeding personal use thresholds.

Quantity limit

200 cigarettes / 50 cigars / 200g tobacco

Legal reference

Customs Tariff, Excise Act 2001

Practical advice

Travelers aged 18+ clear the standard duty-free tobacco allowance with no declaration; quantities above (typically 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, or 250g of tobacco for non-EU arrivals) attract excise duty + VAT and must be declared on arrival to CBSA.
