Within the European Union the exchange of goods for personal aims is duty-free, but there is an upper limit, e.g. for voyagers older than 17 years 800 cigarettes, 10 litres spirits and 90 litres wine.

The maximum amount of the exchange of goods with Non-EU-member-countries is valid for goods that have been bought in Duty-Free-Shops.

Travellers (older than 17 years) from Non-EU-countries can import duty-free to Austria: 200 cigaretts or 50 cigars or 250 g tobacco, 2 litres of wine or other alcoholic drinks up to 22 Vol. % and 1 litre of spirits.

Citizens of Non-Eu-countries can enlist for tax-refund from a receipt starting at € 75,00.

Fill in the TAX-FREE form at the shop (shop stamp), and as soon as you have left the EU zone, please go to the duty authority of the respective country you are leaving from and get the duty stamp.

The filled in form should be sent to:
