Customs Allowance

Be very cautious though with customs. When returning to your country after your visit to Gibraltar, be familiar with the restrictions of what you’re allowed to bring in. Customs at the Spanish boarder in particular will scrutinise purchases made on such items in Gibraltar. If exceeding the quota, you will be expected to pay a tax or even have the items confiscated. If traveling to the UK or other countries in the EU directly from Gibraltar, please be aware that you are only allowed limited quantities of certain items. While making your purchases, inquire on the latest restrictions. Shop owners will be more than willing to advise you accordingly.

Travelling with Goods During the Transition

During the first three years of the new arrangements, personal allowances will continue to apply for goods carried by travellers.

• €430 allowance for travellers arriving by air or sea

• €300 allowance for travellers crossing by land

After that transitional period, personal import limits are expected to be lifted. The removal of routine frontier checks does not remove the traveller’s responsibility for what they carry.
