Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands are part of Spain. Spain is a member of the European Union. So the answer to your question is yes.

no its part of Spain but not in the EU. Be careful of what cigs and booze you bring out because you will have a 99percent chance of being caught.

YES, AND NO.

This means that there are dangerous financial anomalies.

For example.

The Canary Islands are outside the EC for VAT purposes.
There is no VAT but there is IGIC to pay at the same rate.
If you wish to know all about it, and have good Spanish, look at www.minhac.es, otherwise ask a tax expert. Assume that ICIC is a sales tax.

Because of the island's tax free status, our unloved Customs and Excise, treat tobacco and alcohol imports as if the goods come from outside the EU. You have been warned. Because the our Customs are a bunch of useless toe-rags, the information is hard to find on their website so that they can treat you like a criminal in front of your children.

The information regarding limits is under 'Importing Goods From Outside The EU, despite the fact that.........................

So.........

When travelling from a non-EU country (including the CANARY ISLANDS, the Channel islands and Gibraltar) you can bring the following into the UK for your own use without paying UK tax or duty:

200 cigarettes; or 100 cigarillos; or 50 cigars; or 250g of tobacco
60cc of perfume
2 litres of still table wine
250cc of eau de toilette
1 litre of spirits or strong liqueurs over 22 per cent volume; or 2 litres of fortified wine*, sparkling wine or other liqueurs *such as port or sherry and
Â£145 worth of all other goods including gifts and souvenirs.
If you have any more than these allowances you must declare the goods in the red channel or use the red point phone. If you do not, you are breaking the law and we may prosecute you.

Drugs, despite their easy availbility on the streets of London, are rightly illegal and you will be prosecuted.

no, its part of the canary islands which is not part of Europe. that's why its so cheap.
just because its owned by the Spanish, doesn't mean they are in Europe. after all, we own Australia and that's not a member.
