Manchester Airport Duty Free
Do you need any clarification on your allowances before you start shopping in duty free at Manchester Airport? Confused about the new Brexit rules? Worry not, we’ve got you covered! Read on below and we’ll explain the new rules!
Manchester Airport Duty Free Locations
Manchester Airport has duty-free shopping in all terminals; look for Biza in departures in Terminals 1, 2 and 3. It is also available in Terminal 1 Arrivals.
New Duty-Free Rules
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.
Alcohol Allowance
You are allowed to bring a generous amount of alcohol! You may bring in:
Tobacco Allowance
For tobacco allowance, there is a generous amount available too! You may bring in:
Alcohol and tobacco allowances if you’re under 17
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.
Allowance for other goods
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!
Manchester Airport Collect on Return
Simply browse through the shop for any item that you wish for and once you’ve done that, speak to a member of staff and ask about Collect on Return service. They’ll simply ask you to fill in your flight details and you’re done! Once you come back, you collect it from the relevant collection point. Easy! These are listed below:
- For terminal 1, you’ll find it at street cars just outside arrivals
- For terminal 3, you’ll find it at street cars just inside arrivals
