Iceland's food rules are stricter than its duty-free limits, and used riding or fishing gear has to be disinfected before it lands.
- Raw eggs, raw milk and uncooked meat may not be brought in. Iceland's livestock has no immunity to diseases the mainland lives with, and the ban is enforced rather than posted.
- Used riding clothing, riding equipment and fishing tackle must be disinfected and certified before entry, or cleaned at the airport at your expense. Bringing a used saddle without paperwork is the classic mistake.
- The alcohol quota is small and split by type - a litre of spirits, or trades of wine and beer against it - and the arrivals duty-free shop at Keflavik is where most people use it, because alcohol elsewhere is sold only through Vinbudin.
- Tobacco is 200 cigarettes, and both quotas start at 20 for alcohol and 18 for tobacco.
- Cash equivalent to EUR 10,000 or more must be declared on entry or exit.
