A VISIT TO DUTY FREE
Cyprus has specific duty-free limits for travellers that are applicable when travelling from Cyprus to other European Union and non-European Union countries. The Cyprus government, by European Union regulations, has set these limits, specifying exactly how much of certain goods can be bought in Cyprus for export without paying duty or VAT in Cyprus. If these limits are exceeded, the individual may be required to pay duty and VAT on the excess amount or face confiscation. It is always advisable to carry receipts for all goods purchased and to fully declare any goods if required.
