Work hours About DUTY FREE Description HISTORY Sunny Europe was established in the center of Antwerp in 1982 as Sunny Radio. By 1999, the company had changed its name to Sunny Europe and moved to the present location in the port of Antwerp.
Following successful growth, two brands were created in 2007: “Sunny” for the maritime services and “The Diplomatic House” for the diplomatic corps, with a physical Diplomatic House in Brussels. In 2012 we celebrated our 30th anniversary with a grand opening of a new and luxurious 1600m² concept store in Antwerp. The Diplomatic House moved from Brussels to the headquarters in Antwerp. “Boarding Lounge”, a new brand focusing on international air travelers, also came into being in 2012.

Number of pieces of cigars is different Different prices for EU-flights and non-EU ones apply in Duty Free shops at the airport, providing better prices for the non-EU flights. So the price you'll pay (especially for cigarettes and alcohol) is dependent on the destination you fly to. If you fly back directly to UK, well.:) Especially the above cited price I can't comment. Label prices are in Euros so I guess at payment they re-calculate from Euros to GBP. Thus, your costs are also dependent on the exchange rate Euro/GBP.
I'd advice you to check the prices at Duty Free at your arrival, and then check for same brands while in (but in reputable stores/shops- otherwise you're not guaranteed the origin) Then you can estimate whether it's worth to take cigarettes from the airport or from a shop within the city. FYI, on July 1,2007, I purchased cigarettes from Terminal 2 Duty Free at airport (flight to ), and still it was cheaper for me than the price I paid in UK regular shops for the same brand This is the site of National Customs- I didn't check if it provides sufficient info in English although English version is available. I just checked the site, and you are right- these details are available only in Bulgarian version, as files to download. At first sign, there are some directives about passengers which are recently relocating, where special conditions about 'personal use' items are allowed above the regular limits.
Too late now for careful reading&translation However, if your sis is not liable to certain 'exception case' conditions, and took 1000 altogether without completing any documents or whatsoever, she was most probably just lucky I wouldn't give a try. If I find time to at least read thoroughly these documents, I'll post narrative or translation. When joined the EU they retained their own custom levels and monetary systems for the foreseeable future.

We normally fly from East Midlands or and your boarding card stops you from buying duty free cigarettes and spirits, it is a bit more lax in the airport coming back but if you get caught at this end they will be confiscated. At Bourgas and your cases are X-rayed prior to you handing them over at check in and thats when security pounce. Some people got away with taking more but I have seen a number of people having their cigarettes being taken off them. See hear for clarification. B) For travellers returning from one of the Member States that joined the EU on 1 January 2007 Member States were also allowed to apply special transitional arrangements for travellers returning from the new Member States that joined the EU on 1 January 2007 as long as these new Member States have not reached the minimum level of taxation for cigarettes. The following Member States have notified the Commission that they introduced on 1 January 2007 a restriction of 200 cigarettes for travellers coming from Bulgaria and until 31 December 2009:; the; Denmark. All EU citizens who either return directly from Bulgaria or Rumania to one of the above mentioned Member States or via one of these Member States (for example in land travel via Hungary) need to observe the limit.
Hope this clears the matter up for you. Clarification: my most recent 2 posts refer to this: 'Wonder if anyone knows if your suitcases are scanned in Airport?' I only fly from/to Sofia airport: Terminal 1 till Jan 2007, and T2- afterwards For the mentioned periods&terminals, the checked baggage which you is scanned after you check in (can't state if all of it or at random), as in 'normal EU country' ('Toonman', I believe it was not an intentional wording, indirectly referring to abnormality. Right?:) The hand baggage is scanned prior customs desks. The hand baggage check does not usually have the purpose of customs check.
I agree, there are many ways to avoid the limitations; however it's all on your own risk. Again, I wouldn't give a try, even on a perfectly known route&airports.
