Full details

Wine duty-free allowances are separate from spirits in many countries and are often more generous given wine's lower alcohol content. The UK permits 18 liters of still wine duty-free for personal import. Australia allows 2.25 liters of wine duty-free. Wine is completely prohibited in Saudi Arabia, K

QUANTITY CHECK

litres

Duty-free: 2.25L of alcohol (18+), 25 cigarettes or 25g tobacco (18+), and AUD $900 worth of general goods per adult (AUD $450 for those under 18). Children under 18 cannot claim alcohol or tobacco allowances. USD equivalent is approximate.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Standard wine allowance typically 2-4L per traveler 18+. Above the allowance, excise + 10% VAT. Declare at Red Channel with purchase receipts.
