Responses information department of "Tourism subtleties"
The limit of import and export of cigarettes and tobacco products to and from Australia is rather rigid - if it was previously allowed to import a block of cigarettes (250 pcs . - local packs contain 25 cigarettes) or 250 grams of cigars and other tobacco products, from 2010 onwards ., regardless of hand luggage or baggage, only 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or other tobacco products are allowed to be carried. . This rule applies to all citizens over the age of 18, that is, minors importing cigarettes and the territory of the country is prohibited, as well as exported from it . The rule also applies to cigarettes and tobacco purchased at duty free shops Duty Free in other airports .

If the passenger limit is exceeded (and customs checks are very strict) , then no one will be able to select tobacco products - simply for exceeding the limit it will be necessary to pay the difference with what is sold at local outlets. On average, the cost of a pack of cigarettes in Australia is 20-25 ASD.
