Questions about Cigars and other tobacco (by weight) in Turkey
- How many cigars and other tobacco (by weight) can I bring into Turkey?
- Turkey allows 50 cigars and other tobacco (by weight) per traveller. Above that the goods are treated as an import and duty becomes payable. The allowance is per traveller and cannot be pooled between people.
- Do I have to declare cigars and other tobacco (by weight) at Turkey customs?
- Only above the allowance. Up to 50 cigars and other tobacco (by weight) there is nothing to declare; beyond it you take the goods through the red channel and pay the duty.
- What happens if I do not declare cigars and other tobacco (by weight) in Turkey?
- Under Kaçakçılıkla Mücadele Kanunu 5607, Madde 3/10, if it is treated as smuggling: it is prosecuted as a criminal offence.
- Do duty-free purchases count toward the Turkey allowance for cigars and other tobacco (by weight)?
- Yes. What you buy in an arrival duty-free shop comes out of the same allowance, so the shop does not add to what you may already be carrying.
- Can I post or ship cigars and other tobacco (by weight) to Turkey instead of carrying it?
- Not under this allowance. It covers goods a traveller carries; a parcel is an import and is assessed under the postal rules instead. Baggage sent before or after you travels under the same allowance.
