Hello everybody,

 

Does anybody know the import tax in the following products ? 

 

• Lager beer (5.2% alcohol)
• Ouzo (40% alcohol)
• Olives

 

All from Greece and therefore from the EU

 

Regards,

You'll need an import license for the alcohol if it's over the 1L duty-free limit, there is no vehicle to pay duty on over limit alcohol (or tobacco) at the airport.

 

Olives you could probably bring through the green channel in quantities that would be for "personal use".

Can't an alcoholic claim large quantities of alcohol for personal use

Hi @Crossy,

 

My friends already got the import license but strangely enough they don't know how much the import tax is.

 

So they asked me if I could find the answer to this

 

Sent an e-mail to the customs service after talking to them on the phone but they don't seem to reply fast if at all

Sounds like you will get bent over for it.

Ouch!

 

Just to lend some credence to that thread I know Raro was importing wine at one time.

Thank you everybody for your answers!

Ask a reputable customs agency, that does alcohol imports already. Ask for customer references!

Alcohol is quite difficult to import and you need someone to take you by the hand to guide you through the process.

The import duties are just one part of the costs. There will be also excise tax, health tax, alcohol tax, God knows what else tax.

could you recommend someone? Or is it better to dodge that bullet alltogether and just offer wine/beer CIF to the customers?
