World Duty Free is located after security at Glasgow Airport and is open for all international and domestic departures.
As Brexit has taken place, this means that there are now new rules to duty-free allowances! But worry not, you are still allowed to bring a fair amount of goods and services into the UK without being charged extra tax! We will go over all the new rules and try to make it as simple as we possibly can for you.
When you are bringing the goods to the UK, you must be bringing them in yourself. They can be for your personal use or you could give them away as a gift. You must not go over your allowance and if you do, you have to declare them before arriving in the UK, to whichever category they fit. We will talk about the different categories and the allowances you have below.
You are allowed to bring a generous amount of alcohol! You may bring in:
For tobacco allowance, there is a generous amount available too! You may bring in:
If you’re under the age of 17, then, unfortunately, you are not allowed any personal allowance. However, if you still wish to bring it, you will have to pay tax and duty on them before your arrival in the UK.
If you want to bring cash, you can bring up to £390. If you want to bring more, you will have to pay duty and tax on the total sum, not just the sum that’s gone above the allowance. Make sure that you don’t go over because you may have to pay import VAT too as well as duty and tax. We’re sure you don’t want to do that so ensure your total sum doesn’t go over the limit!
Ever wanted to buy something, whether for yourself or someone special, but you weren’t sure about the product? Well, now you can try it before you buy it! Yep, this means that you can have food and alcohol tasting before buying the product so you know exactly what you’re purchasing.
If you're not a fan of shopping and prefer to purchase your items online, why not opt for the Reserve and Collect service? Simply reserve your items online and once you're at the airport, head on over to World Duty Free to pay for and collect your items. Easy!
