From the journey abroad, you always want to bring not only souvenirs for memory, but also something significant. For example, high-quality local alcohol and products from Duty Free. But not always and not in any country can be imported or removed as much as it wants. This article discusses all popular tourist destinations and norms regulating the import and removal of alcoholic beverages in these countries.

When importing and exporting alcohol from the country, you need to navigate:

1. On limitations, on baggage and manual sting (if the aircraft flight is carried out).
2. Local customs norms and legislation. Special attention should be paid to this item, because in different countries, customs restrictions on the import and removal of alcohol can be very different.

In the post you can import duty free 3 Litra of strong alcohol or beer for every adult face. Yet 2 Litra can be imported with payment of fee of 10 euros per liter. It turns out currently, you can import 5 litersAt the same time, the total cost of drinks should not be more than 1,500 euros.

It is possible to take out of Russia how much alcohol rather than: the main thing is that the customs does not consider alcohol commercial parties - for this it may be a criminal punishment. Consequently, when calculating alcoholic beverages, which can be brought home from around the world, you should always be focused on the maximum number of 5 liters.

Turkish customs allows tourists to import 5 liters of fastening alcohol (strength up to 22 degrees) or 1 liter of strong alcoholic beverages, as well as up to 20 packs of cigarettes or 50 cigars.

Excess this amount is no need - alcohol in Turkey is inexpensive. Regarding the removal of alcohol from the country there are no restrictions, but it is worth remembering the maximum 5 liters of the import of alcohol in the Russian Federation - the rest of the border guards will be forced to take away.

Belarus

On the territory of the Republic of Belarus, the same customs norms on the importation and export of alcohol are operating as in Russia. Every adult citizen can enter the country duty free 3 Litra alcohol, still for 2 Litra will have to pay 10 euros for each liter.

Maximum summary amount for importation: 5 liters on an adult person with payment of fees in 20 euros. There is no difference between the norm on the fortress of alcoholic beverages.

Can be imported to the country without a duty 1 Litra drink on an adult, but the prohibition does not apply to alcohol from the Duty Free. You can remove from Thailand no more 3 Litres of alcohol (again, without limitation in DutyFree).

For violation of customs legislation, a rather large fine (about $ 1000) may be prescribed, but in reality, customs does not look at alcoholic beverages. In the network, you can easily find hundreds of messages that import and export of alcohol in Thailand for tourists is valid very weak, and they look through the limits through the fingers. Risk or not - let each decide for himself.

Drinks Fortress up to 22% in Finland can be imported from 18 years. Strong alcohol customs will miss only with travelers from 20 years and older. When exporting alcohol, it is necessary to focus on the customs legislation of the country where these drinks are planned to be imported (for the Russian Federation restriction 5 liters). It is allowed to import the following amount of alcoholic beverages:

• 16 Litres of beer;
• Or 4 liter of wine;
• Or 1 liter of strong alcohol (22 or more degrees);
• Or 2 Litra of other alcoholic beverages (including sparkling wines and champagne).

Alcohol within this number is not subject to customs duties. Drinks can be combined: For example, a liter of champagne and 0.5 strong alcohol will be placed in the limit. In order to ride alcoholic beverages into the country, the total duration of stay in Finland should be at least 72 hours (for those living in Finland, this period is reduced to 20 hours). This rule concerns not only the drinks brought with them, but also purchases from DutyFree.

In disruption, it is assumed to pay a fine in the form of a double value of alcohol. For example, if 1 liter of declared vodka costs 32 euros, then when another liter is detected, a penalty of 64 euros will have to pay.

UAE - United Arab Emirates

Everything is much more complicated with the United Arab Emirates than from most countries: the standards for importing alcohol in each emirate their own. This is logical: all the emirates are autonomous, have their own monarch and are essentially individual states.

The following restrictions apply to attractive Emirates for tourists:

• Abu Dhabi and Fujeir You can import before 4 Any alcoholic beverages for each non-Samulmanin.
• IN Dubai. – 24 Beer banks or up 4 l any other alcoholic beverages.
• IN Sharjah - before 2 l alcoholic beverages and 1 Packaging beer.

It should be understood that the opportunity to take out of European countries such a number of alcohol does not mean that the customs in the country of arrival will miss all this good.
