Imported Products

Imported products are duty-free but are usually subject to a General Expenditure Tax on goods and services (ABB). However, the following exceptions apply for people aged 17 or older:

  • Tobacco Products: Up to 200 cigarettes, 50 cigarillos, 25 cigars, 125 grams of smoking tobacco, or a proportional mix of these.
  • Alcoholic Beverages:
    • 1 liter of spirits or beverages with more than 22% alcohol content, or non-denatured ethyl alcohol of 80% or higher.
    • 1 liter of spirits or beverages with 22% or less alcohol content, or sparkling wine or liquor wine.
    • 2 liters of non-sparkling wine.
    • 8 liters of beer.

Important Notes:

  1. The ABB and excise duty exemption on spirits is only for travelers aged 18 and older.
  2. Transport workers in international transit can only claim half of the above quantities.

All other goods are exempt from ABB up to the following values:

  • USD 500 for people aged 15 and older.
  • USD 150 for people younger than 15.

This exemption applies only if the total value of the goods is within these limits. If a single item exceeds these values, ABB must be paid on the entire amount.
