Comment:
Import prohibitions and restrictions also have to be considered when importing above mentioned duty-free goods. |
Several travellers are not allowed to pool their allowances. It is therefore not possible for two persons (airline travellers), for example, to import one single item duty-free with a value of € 600. You may claim the duty-free allowance once per calendar day.
Reduced duty-free amounts and allowance applies to cross-border traffic and entries from the Swiss Customs exclave Samnaun Valley. Further information can be obtained from the brochure “Customs Info 2013”.
