Hi there, Does anyone know how tobacco checks work for luggage in Australia? What’s the allowed quantity? I assume there’s a declaration form to sign for customs. Is there a baggage search afterward, or are sniffer dogs used? What’s the fine if you exceed the allowed amounts? Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi Didier, Bringing cigarettes into Australia is heavily regulated. From what I remember, you're allowed one pack (25 cigarettes there) plus one opened pack per person. In big cities (Sydney, Melbourne), you can find cigarettes at reasonable prices (20 €), but elsewhere, it’s super expensive! As for inspections, customs checks are random, but I didn’t take the risk. 🤪
