Can you bring tobacco or cigarettes to Australia?

• Tobacco

  allowed, within limits

  25 cigarettes or 25 grams of tobacco in any form duty-free per traveller aged 18 or over; no concession for travellers under 18. Most tobacco products (cigarettes, molasses tobacco, heat-not-burn, loose-leaf) are otherwise classed as prohibited imports beyond the personal concession.

  No permit is needed to bring tobacco products as a traveller within the concession. Exceeding the limit means duty/tax applies to all tobacco carried, not just the excess.
