About DutyFreeAllowance

DutyFreeAllowance helps travellers understand customs before they fly: how much they can bring duty-free, what they will pay above the allowance, what is banned, and which forms they can fill in online.

Why we built it

Millions of people travel every year with gold, phones, laptops, gifts and cash for their families. The rules are scattered across government websites, change often and are rarely written in the traveller's own language. DutyFreeAllowance brings them together in one simple calculator in 128 languages.

How we keep it accurate

• Every rule is linked to its source and labelled Official (government source), Reported (reliable secondary source) or Estimated.
• Sources and rates (including gold rates) are re-checked every day, with the United States and China checked first.
• Read our sources & methodology.

Important

DutyFreeAllowance gives estimates for information only. Customs officers make the final decision at the border. See our disclaimer.
