what is the duty free allowance from europe to uk

If you are travelling to Great Britain (England, Wales or Scotland) from outside the UK, your personal allowances mean you can bring in other goods worth up to £390 (or up to £270 if you arrive by private plane or boat) without paying any tax or duties. However, if you exceed your allowance, you may have to pay import VAT and customs duty. The duty-free allowances for alcohol and tobacco products when entering the UK from EU countries have changed due to Brexit. As of July 2022, you can bring in 42 litres of beer and 18 litres of still wine into the UK duty-free. In addition, you can bring either four litres of spirits or nine litres of sparkling wine, fortified wine or any alcoholic beverage less than 22% ABV. The spirits, liquors and wine allowance can be split. For tobacco products, you can bring in 200 cigarettes, 100 cigarillos, 50 cigars, 250g tobacco, or 200 sticks of tobacco for electronic heated tobacco devices. Passengers can split this allowance.
