About Cyprus customs

Cyprus' customs rules are administered by Cyprus customs authority. For travelers arriving from outside the European Union, standard EU traveler import allowances often apply, while intra-EU travel is generally assessed on a personal-use basis rather than fixed duty-free limits.

Traveler rules can change based on route, age, item type, and whether goods are for personal use. CustomsLimit helps you check the full country guide for Cyprus before travel.
