What are the regulations for importing cigars into the UK?
Premium cigars can be ordered online and shipped to addresses in the UK. However, it is crucial to understand both customs allowances for travelers and the import duties for online shipments.
- Traveler allowances (personal luggage): if you’re entering the UK in person, sporadically and for personal use, you may bring in one of the following duty-free: 50 cigars, or 200 cigarettes, or 100 cigarillos, or 250 g of tobacco, or 200 sticks of heated tobacco. These allowances can be combined proportionally (e.g., 25 cigars + 125 g loose tobacco). If these limits are exceeded, you must declare all goods in that category and pay customs duty, excise duty, and VAT accordingly.
- Online orders (shipping to the UK): Unlike personal allowances, imports via courier or postal services are treated as commercial goods, regardless of quantity. These are subject to:
- Tobacco Products Duty: For cigars, the rate is currently £417,33 per kilogram.
- Import VAT at the standard UK rate of 20%, calculated on the total value including duty.
In order to import cigars into the UK, you only need to clear tobacco taxes according to the UK Law and brokerage fees. For further information, please check the regulations.
