Customs and rules for the import of alcohol
Hello, I had such a situation in Istanbul with alcohol ... In Donetsk, I bought 2 bottles of champagne in duty free, they put them not in a sealed bag, but just in a bag, and when I arrived in Istanbul, I was not allowed to take them with me, although I had a check..... I want to know in the future what to do in this situation and where the rules for transporting alcohol are described... Thank you!!

Ouch.
1. How could they not seal the package in duty free?
2. Is there an inspection of personal luggage upon arrival? I think passport control and baggage claim. And that's it.

Vitis, you read your answer)))
And now, for example, those who are slow-witted like me, describe the procedure for buying alcohol in Duty Free and the possibility of packing it into general luggage. ))
If you advise buying alcohol even before the airport, then I don’t see the point at all if duty free is intended for this, so that you can buy some excisable goods much cheaper without overpaying this excise.

You can’t put alcohol from duty free in your luggage))) In Istanbul, it’s a misunderstanding. Have you checked your hand luggage and found excess alcohol? There are rules for transporting alcohol, have you violated them, or violated the rules for transporting them? You put alcohol in your hand luggage, so what? See the customs regulations for the rules for transporting alcohol.

I understand that Istanbul was not the final destination? Then everything is correct - you cannot bring liquids on board that are not properly packed in duty free. And in some countries - packed at the point of original departure is also impossible. For example, when flying from Bangkok to Kyiv via Abu Dhabi. In Bangkok, they simply didn’t sell us creams in a half-liter pack when they saw the boarding passes through Abu Dhabi.

At the beginning I did not understand at all where the problem comes from? Well, if the docking is in Istanbul, this clears things up a bit. Some airports do not like "foreign" duty, but in Donetsk they really practice unsealed packages! And in terms of control, you could carry anything on the plane in champagne bottles.

Without Dyutik's "package" - this is a crime at any airport. In Turkey, too. rules, as in Ukraine - 1l. "strong" + 1l "weak" alcohol (per capita) + a block of cigarettes (import). Colleagues have already written for transit, without a "package" - they will not be allowed on the plane.

tourexpert, I read the answer both mine and yours and?
And I still think that in order to get rid of hemorrhoids with alcohol, it is easier to carry it in luggage.
Since the situation described by the author is doubtful from all sides. What kind of transit? Where did you see him? I give my head to the clipping that the champagne was unsealed on the plane. 99% of passengers open the package and drink alcohol on board.
So I advise the author to put it in luggage in order to avoid temptation.
And where did you see the transit? Who invented it?

faced several times with the fact that packages are not sealed in dutik. In this case, you just need to say that you are flying in transit and ask to seal the package. And there are no problems.

Regarding (alcohol in luggage) - yes. But this "question" also hangs in terms of "taste" and price. If in the "Metro" (Ukraine) - Courvoisier costs 750 UAH. , then in Dutik max. 55 euros, and I want to cry from the Metro quality, so we take it in Dutik (hand luggage) to Turkey, Egypt, and even more so the UAE, Thailand, etc. countries, and back.

if you flew in transit through Istanbul, then they didn’t let you in correctly.
if they went out into the city, then in Istanbul they really like to check luggage at the exit. I have not looked before. this year was 2 times and all 2 times asked to put on the scanner
if you didn’t have any more alcohol besides champagne, you should have skipped it and they shouldn’t have cared where you bought it. it was logical to think that no one would allow you to take 2 bottles of champagne and carry them through customs at the airport of departure.
for baggage. if you received luggage in Istanbul, you could easily open it before leaving the airport and put bottles there.
I always do this in Antalya so as not to drag it in my hands.

Viltis, then read it again!
You were asked what to do when you bought duty free champagne and were not allowed in Istanbul with it.
You advise to put alcohol in the general baggage. So I ask you how to do it? Teach me too. It also sometimes bothers me in hand luggage. However, they won't let me go from the "duty" zone to the registration zone.
If you advise "in general", then I tell you again
1) This is not what they ask you about (you yourself are poking around here, about the fact that "TC did not write anywhere about transit." But what, you were asked how best to bring alcohol?)
2) Financially it is not profitable.
3) The transportation of alcohol, the same champagne in things is fraught with damage to things if the bottle is broken during loading by our "neat" loaders playing football with suitcases.
Here, the TS is more interested in whether the reason is that he was not allowed in with champagne. And what could serve as a refusal - the absence of a sealed package or a norm for skipping alcohol.
That's why the experts responded. What if this is a transit, then they have the right not to let it in and also brought the import norms in Turkey. Judging by them, champagne exceeded the imported norm of 1 liter (because 0.75 + 0.75 u003d 1.5.
And yet, the TC clearly wrote that the package was not there initially, so you still need to cut off your head!

Wait... Is it true that 1 liter of strong + 1 liter of weak?
It used to be 1 liter of strong OR 2 liters of weak.

Well, why not, and not only in Turkey. In March, in Zhuliany, after arriving from Treviso, luggage was checked on TV, I was surprised and considered that, probably, before Euro-12, customs officers were trained on "cats." Who flew later, this continues ?

I don’t know how it was in Zhuliany, but when I flew with a child from Kyiv to Moscow the next day after the end of the Euro through Boryspil, my mother quietly pushed me 5 liter bottles of frozen homemade goat milk. I wondered why the suitcase is so heavy? And nothing - they missed everything and didn’t even ask anything.

The restriction does not depend on the type of baggage - what is in checked baggage and what is in hand baggage is summed up. But in fact, they rarely climb into suitcases, in my practice it was only in Madeira and only when they saw a Ukrainian passport. They were interested in cigarettes and alcohol.

Weak - alcoholic drinks (according to world qualification) up to 28% alcohol content per volume, the rest is strong. In There. Code eg. 1l + 1l, you can "change" or not, I don't know, but "cling" is a HOLY DEAL !!!!

Heh, in Baileys - 17. So I can also grab champagne - I will celebrate DR no matter how)))
And in Antalya, after arriving there, does the baggage check go before or after duty? If after - then you can first buy in the duty station at your departure, and then - when you arrived ...)))

Be careful when on a journey with transfers one of the flights turns out to be domestic (within the same country)!
On domestic flights, alcohol can be taken away, even if it is sealed in a dutish bag! Well, like, "what kind of dutik is it if you fly within the same country?"
We had such a case

It's good when there is something to poke :) Even in such cases (on the territory of our homeland) this option helps (on the territory of our homeland) "Okay, seize it. We draw up all the papers correctly and I want to see the visa of the head of the customs department on the confiscation act, and also be present at the destruction of counterfeit" :) Somehow they turn sour right away. But this is if the rules themselves are not violated, but simply cling to.
