Can a family pool their duty free allowances entering Australia?

score:6

Accepted answer

From Sydney Airport's page:

A family entering Australia can pool their individual allowances.

For example: a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) are entitled to bring in:

4.5 litres of alcoholic beverages (2 x adults alcohol allowance of 2.25L= 4.5L)

+

100 cigarettes (2 x adults tobacco allowance of 50 cigarettes = 100)

+

$2,700 worth of general goods (including gifts, souvenirs, cameras, electronic equipment, leather goods, jewellery, watches and sporting goods) (2 x adults general goods allowance + 2 x traveller under 18 years general goods allowance).

(edit) So to be clearer - for alcohol and cigarettes, you cannot allocate to the kids, but you can for other items with no age limits.
