Why customs allowances are set at the destination, not the origin
Duty-free thresholds (alcohol litres, cigarettes, cash to declare) are determined by the country you're entering — not the country you're leaving. So the EU's 200-cigarette allowance for arrivals from outside the EU doesn't help if you're flying into Japan, which caps at 200 cigarettes too but counts roll-your-own differently. Cash declaration thresholds (typically US
0,000 equivalent) catch many travellers who think 'small enough not to mention' applies to amounts well over the limit. Pick a destination below to see the current allowances plus the most common 'what triggers a fine' risks at that country's customs.
⚠️ Allowances apply per adult arriving for tourism. Different limits apply for crew, short visits (< 24 h), or onward transit. Duty-free shop purchases count toward your arrival allowance — buying 4 L of spirits at Heathrow won't get you past Australian customs if your AU allowance is 2.25 L.
