Almost all goods can be sold tax-free, as long as the customer takes them in their personal luggage when leaving the European Union.

Exceptions include:

  • Manufactured tobacco products (note: e-cigarettes and e-liquids are eligible).

  • Motorised vehicles such as go-karts, quads, snowmobiles, and microlights (however, bicycles, e-bikes under 250 watts, trailers and caravans are eligible).

  • Essential vehicle parts such as tyres, brakes or engine components.

  • Firearms, explosives, protected wildlife species, illegal drugs and psychotropic substances.

  • Petroleum-based products.

  • Services or goods intended for commercial use or resale.

🔎 Accessories and comfort items that are non-essential for a vehicle’s operation: such as helmets, car radios, DVD players or GPS units, can qualify for tax-free shopping.
