Customs Formalities in Austria
When you travel to Austria and go through the customs line, you’ll soon learn that there are different customs formalities for those from the EU nations, and another set of customs formalities for those who are not from the EU.
This is mainly because EU residents traveling to Austria cannot make duty free purchases in Austria.
Non-EU travelers to Austria experience different customs formalities, like getting checked for the amount of goods they have purchased in Austria. In general, customs officials in Austria give a lot of leeway.
Before you go, check the current customs rules as they pertain to tobacco, alcohol, and gifts.
