Notes
- The ANAM page gives the limit as 20 packs (cajetillas) of cigarettes, 25 cigars or 200 g of tobacco for passengers over 18. The page does not state how many cigarettes a pack holds, so no piece count is given.
- For passengers over 18, as part of personal luggage: up to 3 litres of alcoholic beverages and 6 litres of wine. The page does not give a separate limit for beer or an alcohol-strength split. These items cannot be brought under the USD 500 franquicia.
