Customs
Before reaching the public area, you will go through the customs channels.
You must declare any goods subject to quantitative restrictions (alcohol, tobacco and perfume).
If you arrive from a country in the European Union where you have purchased goods for non-commercial purposes, you benefit from tax exemption (you will not be taxed by the Customs department).
