Andorra's customs revenues fell 8.3% in July to €18.47 million, primarily due to a 23.9% slump in tobacco taxes, according to Finance Ministry data.

The customs authority recorded €18,467,997 in collections for the month, down from €20.15 million in July 2025 and 37.3% below the €29.4 million from July 2024. Year-to-date through seven months, revenues totaled €122,184,219, a 6.6% decline from €130.7 million in 2025 and 24.3% less than the €161 million from the same period in 2024.

Tobacco taxes contributed €5,540,732 in July, reflecting a 23.9% drop from €7.2 million the previous year and a 68.2% decrease from €17.4 million in 2024. The cumulative figure reached €46,046,629, down 15.7% year-over-year and 47.7% from 2024.

Fuel import taxes generated €4,773,467 for the month, a 1.8% reduction compared to 2025 and 3.2% below 2024 levels. The seven-month total stood at €30,462,126, marking a 5% fall from the prior year.
