I believe you can only take 200 to the states is this correct?

I can't belive you spend more than a car payment each month, just to kill yourself!

Question
Traveler bringing tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, bidis) to the U.S. for their personal use.
Answer
A traveler may include up to 100 cigars and 200 cigarettes (one carton) in the $800 exemption from duty.
U.S. residents on State Department-licensed travel to Cuba may no longer bring cigars or other goods back with them from their visit.
Additional cigars and cigarettes may be brought into the country, but they will be subject to duty and taxes. Cigarettes may also be subject to a tax imposed by state and local authorities. Bidis - essentially flavored cigarettes - are not generally permitted entry. Once every 31 days, a resident returning from travel from American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the United States may import 1,000 cigarettes (5 cartons), not more than 200 of which acquired elsewhere than in such locations, within the returning resident's $1,200 exemption from duty and taxes.

Here's another one, is it not the case that duty free advertise the fact that the allowance for international travel is greater than within the EU?
It is still only 200 from what I remember.
sounds like a school maths question to me :D
so how do you work out the value of the item minus the vat to come up with the duty free price
QUOTE" so how do you work out the value of the item minus the vat to come up with the duty free price" UNQUOTE
Take the price including VAT, divide by 117.5, then multiply by 100.
(can you guess I passed my maths O level 32 years ago!!)

I don't know what they advertise but the allowance from the EU is, in theory, unlimited but only for duty paid cigarettes. From www.customs.gov.uk
You are particularly likely to be asked questions if you have more than:
3200 cigarettes, 200 cigars, 400 cigarillos, 3kg tobacco, 110 litres of beer, 90 litres of wine, 10 litres of spirits, 20 litres of fortified wine (such as port or sherry).
The officer will take into account all the factors of the situation and your explanation.
On tobacco and alcohol, you pay VAT, excise duty and duty on the price so it's not just a matter of deducting the VAT.
I paid £75.00 for 1000 B&H at Gatwick in June, they had gone up £25.00 since I last bought them in November when they were only £50.00 for 1000. I don't smoke, so I don't care how much they cost, I just get them for friends.

I cannot believe people spend £70 for 1000 cigarettes, smoking is some thing I cannot get my head around, its kills you, and before that it makes you and your house and clothes and body stink, and smokers have no idea that their breath smells like poo!!!!!!!!![msneek]
It also has a very unheathy effect on anyone who stands close too[msnscared] Yuk!!!!!!!!!!
Why buy cigarettes in duty free in the UK when you can get them for $3 a packet in the US???[msnscared]
Packed in smoking 5 months ago...now I realize smoking is a quick way to get ill but smoking American Ciggies was like filling your mouth with sandpaper, sand, etc and wondering why your throat was bad.
I'm not coming the "reformed smoker sermon" but basically, all US ciggies were bad brands and tasted like Marlborough, Camel and the like.
