Cigar import rules and restrictions in Mauritius
Mauritius has some clearly defined rules governing tobacco imports:
- Travelers or importers aged 18 or over may bring in up to 250 grams of tobacco products (including cigars and cigarettes) without paying customs duty.
- Tobacco products must conform to strict health-warning and labeling obligations under the Public Health (Restrictions on Tobacco Products) Regulations 2022.
- The law prohibits domestic online sales of tobacco products (for local retail), but importing cigars for personal use remains legal, as long as customs rules are followed.
- Imports exceeding the 250 g duty-free limit are subject to Customs Duty (typically up to 30%), Excise Duty, and VAT at 15%, all calculated on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight).
These rules aim to regulate local availability and minimize tobacco advertising and promotion within Mauritius.
