Customs Regulations
Duty-free sales within the EU no longer exist (but goods are sold tax-free in European airports). Visitors coming into Italy
from non-EU countries can import, duty free: 1L spirits (or 2L wine), 50mL perfume, 250mL eau de toilette, 200 cigar-
ettes and other goods up to a total of €175; anything over this must be declared on arrival. On leaving the EU, non-EU cit-
izens can reclaim any Value Added Tax (VAT) on expensive purchases. Note that this applies to Swiss citizens and resid-
ents, too.
