Since September 1, 2010, the limits of duty-free importation of cigarettes and tobacco products to Australia have been substantially reduced. If earlier it was possible to import a total of 250 cigarettes or 250 grams of cigars and other tobacco products, then the current law cuts this limit by 80%. Now, regardless - in hand luggage or in luggage - citizens over 18 years are allowed to carry only 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or other tobacco products. This also applies to cigarettes / tobacco purchased from Duty Free duty free shops in other airports.

Moreover, if the passenger wishes to keep the surplus of tobacco products discovered by customs officers, he will have to pay a substantial tax: $ 9, $ 5 per pack of cigarettes.
