DEPARTURE RULE🇩🇿 ALGERIA

Taking tobacco cigarettes out of Algeria

STATUS · ALLOWED

Cigarettes for personal use may be exported from Algeria freely; destination duty-free allowances (typically 200 cigarettes) govern the arrival side.

Details

Cigarettes and tobacco for personal consumption are freely exportable from Algeria — excise is origin-paid at retail and no export formality applies to personal quantities. The binding constraint is the destination's duty-free allowance, typically 200 cigarettes (one carton) or 250 g of tobacco, above which arrival duty and in some countries steep penalties apply. Carrying obviously above-allowance quantities can also draw origin-side questioning about undeclared commercial export.
