duty-free allowances
Tax-exempt import limits
Duty-free allowances are the quantities of goods—typically alcohol, tobacco, and luxury items—that travelers can bring across international borders without paying import taxes.
Countries set specific limits: The duty-free allowance is one liter of spirits per adult.
Exceeding these allowances means paying customs duties on the excess.
