How much tobacco can you bring back from Belgium to the UK?

According to the Government's own web-site (see related link) there is (apparently) no restriction. HOWEVER you must be able to satisfy customs that the amount you're bringing back is for PERSONAL use If you tried to bring back ten kilos of tobacco, you'd have a hard time convincing customs you're a 'heavy smoker' - so - just be sensible with the quantity Anyway - remember - you can always split it amongst your travelling companions (provided they are over 18! ).

UK customs stats that 1 person may bring the following tobacco based products back from Spain: 3200 cigarettes 400 cigarillos 200 cigars 3 kg of smoking tobacco obviously there must be some method by which a combination of these items may be disallowed but that I am unsure of Officially you do not have to pay any duty on tobacco bought, with tax paid, in another EU country. Though there are certain restriction with some, Estonia for instance and with some island territories. Check this carefully There is no limit if it is bought for personal use or as gifts and you have carried it yourself However, HM Customs are likely to ask you questions if you have more than 3 Kgs.

Tobacco usually comes in a pouch of 50 gm and in 'sleeves' or packages of 10, therefore you should be able to carry 6 'sleeves' with no problems If you cannot convince them it is for personal use then they will confiscate it You can appeal, but this can be a lengthy process, by which time the tobacco will have been destroyed. You can ask for compensation but this involves litigation, which can be expensive Similar restrictions are place on cigarettes, cigars and alcohol The Customs officials will ask questions if you have a van full or a boot/trunk full or an attempt has been made to hide it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
