About this office
DCNJ PORTA (AD000002) operates as a road customs office in Pas de la Casa, Andorra. This facility in the Pyrenees principality between France and Spain manages destination, departure and transit across road modes.
Fun fact
Pas de la Casa sits at the Port d'Envalira (2,408 m) - the highest paved road in the Pyrenees. It is the only border crossing in Europe where a customs office operates at over 2,000 metres above sea level.

Yes, very strictly. Regular checkpoints operate on the RN22 road from Pas de la Casa to France. Exceeding duty-free limits risks confiscation of goods and vehicle. Officers focus on tobacco and alcohol smuggling.
The limit is 300 cigarettes (1.5 cartons) or 150 cigarillos under 3 g, 75 cigars over 3 g, or 400 g of pipe tobacco. Limits are per person and cannot be pooled between travellers.

The biggest savings are on cigarettes (up to 60% cheaper than France), alcohol, perfume, electronics, cameras, eyewear and sportswear. Prices are lower due to the 4.5% IGI rate versus France's 20% VAT.
