Customs revenues in Andorra fell 4.3% in February to €17.78 million, despite a modest rise in tobacco import duties, according to figures released by the Finance Ministry. The decline follows a 9% drop in January and marks the second consecutive monthly fall, with all categories except tobacco underperforming compared to the previous year.

For the first two months of 2026, total collections stand at €33.25 million, down 6.6% from €35.5 million in the same period of 2025 and 20.8% below the €41.9 million recorded in early 2024.

Tobacco duties provided a bright spot last month, generating €8.3 million—a 4.5% increase over the €7.9 million from February 2025. However, year-to-date tobacco revenues total €13.6 million, a 1.2% decrease from €13.8 million in 2025 and a sharp 35.3% drop from €21.1 million in 2024.

Other categories saw steeper declines. Beverage import taxes yielded €475,113 in February, 36.4% less than €746,670 the year before and 31.7% below €664,661 in 2024. Cumulative for the year: €1.19 million, down 23% from 2025 and 18.2% from 2024.

Mineral fuel duties brought in €3.97 million last month, 15% below €4.6 million in February 2025. Year-to-date: €8.6 million, an 11% fall from the prior year and 10.6% less than 2024.

Revenues from other goods imports totaled €5.02 million in February, 3.7% lower than €5.2 million in 2025 but flat against two years prior. For January-February: €9.6 million, down 7% from €10.4 million in 2025.

The data underscores ongoing pressure on Andorra's customs income, a key revenue source for public finances, amid weaker import volumes across most sectors.
