Explanation:
Customs & Immigration
Non-EU customs allowances
If you come to UK from a country outside the EU, there are limits on the amount of tobacco, alcohol, perfume and other goods you can bring with you, without paying duty.

Leaving the airport through customs
Most UK ports and airports have three exits or 'channels', while some have only one exit, with a red point phone for declaring goods.

Use the Red Channel if you:

have goods to declare
have any sums of cash (notes, coins, bankers' drafts or any cheques including travellers' cheques) of 10,000 Euro or more (or the equivalent in another currency)
have commercial goods
have tobacco products from an EU country that are over the limits for imports from that country
are not sure what you should declare
Use the Green Channel if you are travelling from a non-EU country with:

no more than the customs allowances
no banned or restricted goods
Use the Blue Channel if you are travelling from a EU country with:

no banned and restricted goods
no tobacco products that are over the limits for imports from that country
If you bring in goods on which tax has been paid in an EU country, you do not have to pay any tax or duty on them in the UK

Which Customs exit?
Arriving from an EU country
If your journey started in a European Union (EU) country and you have nothing to declare, use the blue exit.
If you have goods to declare, go to the red Customs point.
Arriving from outside the EU
If your journey began in a country outside the European Union, go to the red Customs point if you have goods to declare or use the green exit if you don't.

Reference: Red Phone, Red Point.

Reference information:
Ile zapłacimy, jeśli przekroczymy dozwoloną ilość?

Dodatkowa opłata celna za każde kolejne 200 sztuk wyniesie ok. 30 funtów (wysokość opłaty zależeć będzie od ceny detalicznej zakupu i jest podana w przybliżeniu). Podróżni przywożący większą niż dozwolona ilość papierosów będą mogli uiścić opłatę celną przechodząc przez Kanał Czerwony (Red Channel) lub korzystając z telefonu w Czerwonym Punkcie (Red Point).

Autor tego wpisu (z czerwca 2009) powołuje się na ambasadę brytyjską. Terminologia dotycząca portu morskiego może być inna. Sugeruję zweryfikować.
