On Saturday 1 October 2011, the minimum indicative levels (MILs) for tobacco and cigarettes brought into the UK from the European Union (EU) will be reduced, to align them with levels applied elsewhere in Europe.

Rightly or wrongly, I always believed the safe limit to bring back from EU countries for personal use was 3200, which someone calculated to be around 6 months supply for an average smoker:Erm:

Typical fudge

MILs are guide levels set by EU member states to determine whether imported goods are for travellers' own use. There are no limits to the volumes of tobacco that travellers can bring back from the EU, if the goods are transported by them and are genuinely for their own use.
