Andorra's customs revenues fell 14% in April to €16.06 million, driven by sharp declines in tobacco imports alongside drops in beverages and fuels, despite gains in other goods.

The Finance Ministry reported €16,058,543 in duties for the month, down from €18.67 million in April 2025 and €21 million in April 2024. Year-to-date totals through four months stood at €68.03 million, a 7.9% decrease from €73.8 million in 2025 and 19.6% from €84.6 million in 2024.

Tobacco duties generated €5.2 million in April—a 37.6% drop from €8.4 million in 2025 and 56.1% from €12 million in 2024—pushing four-month tobacco revenues to €25.6 million, down 17.8% from €31.2 million in 2025 and 41.2% from €43.6 million in 2024. Reports cite slight variations, including €5.277 million or €5.8 million for the month.

Beverage taxes yielded €597,576 in April, 1% below €603,775 from 2025 but 8.5% above 2024 levels. Cumulative beverage revenues reached €2.45 million, a 15.6% decline from 2025 and 8.5% from 2024.

Fuel duties brought in €4.26 million for April, 4.6% lower than in 2025. Year-to-date fuel collections totaled €18 million to €18.06 million, reflecting a 4.3% decrease from the prior year.

Other goods contributed €5.93 million in April—15% higher than €5.1 million in 2025 and 18.6% above €4.9 million in 2024—with four-month totals at €21.8 million to €21.9 million, up 4.8% from 2025.

Lower import volumes in special-duty items like tobacco have weighed on overall figures, even as price increases in other goods due to Middle East tensions provided some offset. Customs duties and IGI remained the top year-to-date contributors at €26.5 million and €24.9 million, highlighting ongoing dependence on imports and subdued consumption in key areas.
