As of December 1 2008, travellers returning to the UK from outside the European Union will be able to bring back double the amount of wine, electrical goods and souvenirs before tax.
New EU regulations, changed for the first time in 15 years, mean that travellers can bring four litres of wine (up from two) duty-free and the allowance for other goods, including electrical products and souvenirs, is increased to £300 (from £145). This will increase again to £340 from January 2009 because of the falling value of the pound.
Other changes include a new allowance of 16 litres of beer, restrictions on volume of fragrance removed, a new option to mix and match on tobacco products and a new option to mix and match on alcohol products.
