Tobacco Cigarettes → Spain

200 cigarettes from non-EU; 800 from EU

Details

Standard EU duty-free allowances apply on entry to Spain from non-EU origins: 200 cigarettes, 100 cigarillos, 50 cigars, or 250 g of smoking tobacco. From other EU member states, the indicative limit for personal use is 800 cigarettes (Council Directive 2008/118/EC). Spanish customs at airports and land borders enforces these limits; quantities above the indicative threshold may be assessed for excise even when claimed for personal use.

Quantity limit

200 (non-EU) / 800 (intra-EU)

Legal reference

EU Directive 2007/74/EC

Practical advice

The 800 cigarette intra-EU allowance is a guideline — customs may challenge if quantities suggest commercial intent.
