Simple advice

From HMRC’s website

“Is it legal to buy tobacco over the internet from another European Community country?

Yes, but ONLY if the UK VAT and excise duty is paid on the goods. The person who sells the goods must make arrangements for these taxes to be paid before they are sent to you. If you are a customer, it is in your interests to ensure this has been done, otherwise the goods are liable to forfeiture by Customs at the postal depot”.

So then they don’t come cheap. 16 55 Sun 26th Aug 2012
Mosaic East lancashire, most corner shops, but do not be at all surprised if what is described as Benson and hedges is actually woodchip, burnt sofas and mud, prepared lovingly by a workforce with very interesting communicable diseases. 16 58 Sun 26th Aug 2012
EDDIE51 You can’t buy cheap fags online or anywhere else. Cheapest way is to buy 20,000 at a time from a cash and carry . You will save around 25p a pack of 20 over the shop price. 17 05 Sun 26th Aug 2012
sandyRoe Wouldn’t they cost thousands of pounds? 17 08 Sun 26th Aug 2012
bednobs lol are you trying to buy friends with fags? Are you still at school? 17 09 Sun 26th Aug 2012
sandyRoe f8 for 20, f40 for a hundred, f400 for a thousand, f8000 for 20,000. You’d be richer giving up smoking altogether. 17 12 Sun 26th Aug 2012
Prudie You could make friends with people in the South who work the ferries or maybe an airline worker. Even then 800 is the guideline to bring in from the EU. 17 19 Sun 26th Aug 2012
EDDIE51 I’ve had a look and the big ‘cash & Carrys’ are all more per pack of 20 than buying from Tesco , remember the price you see in the cash and carry is without VAT so add on 20%. 17 20 Sun 26th Aug 2012
JonnyBoy12 Question Author No, I am not still at school and I am over the age of 18. Remember I had a birthday recently. Can anyone remember that? I will not tell you what it is.

I have just found the following site in the Internet. See the link below

Mamyalynne Jonny if you are intent on this, after all the advice given then just do it and don’t complain when it backfires. 17 27 Sun 26th Aug 2012
Graham W If you live near any of the ferry ports you can save f150 on 800 cigarettes by having a day trip to Belgium. Save f80 f100 in France, depending on what you smoke.
You’ll save more than the ferry cost as a foot passenger. 17 28 Sun 26th Aug 2012
pink kittens LOL, address is

“Since we cannot guarantee that duty tax will not be charged world wide, in case of request for duty tax, you can
pay duty tax and collect the parcel.
reject the parcel which will be returned to us and ask for your money back” for sure

And they do not sell cigarettes only ship them. They drop ship in other words
buy at your peril, repenting isn’t usually pleasurable 17 29 Sun 26th Aug 2012
JonnyBoy did you see this at the end of the link you provided?

Very important The cigarettes on sale at are for personal use only. Reselling the products may be a criminal offense. 17 32 Sun 26th Aug 2012
Do we really need this rubbish on AnswerBank? 17 33 Sun 26th Aug 2012
craft1948 lol you’ve answered the rubbish 3 times……………. 17 35 Sun 26th Aug 2012
PurplePotRay ( Even then 800 is the guideline to bring in from the EU. )

What happened to you must think European be European and free trade in Europe ? 17 38 Sun 26th Aug 2012
B00 Why is it rubbish?

The OP has asked a legitimate question hasn’t he? The fact that it can’t be done, well, not with any significant savings isn’t his fault, nor does it make his question invalid. 17 38 Sun 26th Aug 2012
JonnyBoy12 Question Author Thank you BOO. I did ask ask a valid question and have got some sensible answers. I am sorry to see that I can not really do that except if I go abroad and buy duty free there and bring it back. Can any of you tell me the legal limit for one person bringing back fags from the Continent? 17 42 Sun 26th Aug 2012
Brimoan I was offered some cheap cigarettes on the street about a year ago but I do not smoke and would not buy any for another person.
I do not know the full story but I saw the person being arrested a few hours later. 17 45 Sun 26th Aug 2012

Shoppers can bring in more cheap cigarettes
