All items must be non-commercial in nature, used, without any prospect of selling them soon. Food, plants, seeds and animals cannot be imported.
We do not recommend importing large amounts of alcohol or cigarettes: if you choose to take such items with you, make sure to know (and not exceed) the current limits. You may only carry alcohol and cigarettes for your own usage.
Customs declaration usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and mostly is just a formality.
