Travellers from other countries (outside the E.U.) must declare transported goods and should pay duty or tax on goods with a value of more than 175€.
In all cases, certain goods are forbidden or subject to strict control: drugs, counterfeit goods, weapons, plants, ivory.
Finally, for everyone, entering or leaving with sums of money higher than 7600€ must declare the amount to customs.
