Qatar bans alcohol, pork and e-cigarettes at the border, and all three are taken off people who assumed duty-free counted as an exception.
- Alcohol may not be brought into the country. Residents buy through a single licensed distributor; visitors drink in licensed hotels only, and what you carry is confiscated at Hamad airport.
- Electronic cigarettes are prohibited. The import ban covers devices and liquids, and they are seized on arrival.
- Pork products are prohibited for everyone except through the one licensed outlet.
- Cash above the declarable threshold must be reported, and the same applies on exit.
- Medicines containing narcotics or codeine need a prescription in the original packaging.
- Material considered offensive to Islam is prohibited, and printed matter in luggage is what this is applied to.
