Alcohol / Cigarette 'Day Trip' On Eurostar - What Is The Latest Situation / Customs?

Question

After reading of horror stories of HM Revenue & Customs confiscating peoples cars etc after shopping for discounted goods from France, I want to know if it would be possible to do something like this using Eurostar. Would security at Brussels refuse such a bag? I plan to stay within the Customs 'guidelines' and not exceed Eurostar luggage limits, (which currently are none for weight or liquid amounts.) Surely it is not their job to act as customs officials. So do you think that I could take back uninterrupted 'as much as I could carry?' - Also roughly how much do you think that would be? (I am medium built.) Thanks!

Answer 1

you are aloud to bring back as many cigarettes and as much alachol as you want on two provisions the first is it must be for your own use and second is it is bought outside duty free it can be convercated by customs if they are not satisfied that it is not for your own use
