How many pouches of tobacco can you bring back from Portugal into the UK?
This is a very contentious area with many people at present.
Officially you do not have to pay any duty on tobacco products bought, with tax paid, in another EU country. Though there are certain restriction with some, Estonia for instance, and with some island territories. Check this carefully.
There is no limit if it is bought for personal use or as gifts and you have carried it yourself.
If you cannot convince them it is for personal use then they will confiscate it.
You can appeal, but this can be a lengthy process, by which time the tobacco will have been destroyed. You can ask for compensation but this involves litigation, which can be expensive.
Similar restrictions are place on alcohol.
The Customs officials will ask questions if you have a van full or a boot/trunk full or an attempt has been made to hide it.
Did Spain have African slaves?
Yes. But mostly in the north of the country. They were a minor group though. Because Chile wasn't a rich country like Peru, slaves were too expensive to buy and families that could afford them usually have them as house slaves more than fields slaves, except in the north. Also, they were usually bought by convents , who teach them to read and them sell them to a higher price.
