Notes

  • Animal-disease outbreaks can bring extra restrictions. Greek customs pages could not be read because the customs website blocks automated access.
  • Exception: less than 10 kg of these products from the Faroe Islands or Greenland. Other animal products such as honey are limited to 2 kg.
  • The page names only the exempt countries and does not mention Great Britain, so it is not stated here.
  • Applies to products that need no refrigeration before opening, are proprietary brands packaged for the final consumer, and have unbroken packaging unless in current use.
  • The EU page sets no weight limit for travellers from the Faroe Islands or Greenland.
