Tiscali: Spanish Phrase Finder - Custom Control

With the single European Market, EC citizens are subject only to highly selective spot checks and they can go through the blue customs channel (unless they have goods to declare). There is no restriction, either by quantity or value, on goods purchased by travellers in another EC country provided they are for their own personal use (guidelines have been published). If you are unsure of certain items, check with the customs officials as to whether payment of duty is required.
