Yes. Cigarettes, alcohol, perfumes, jewellery, watches - luxury goods
in general and anything which is heavily taxed in other countries.
There is a modest duty on imports to the country but most things are
cheaper in Andorra as there's no sales tax. Remember, however, that as
Andorra is not an EU country the lower Customs allowance applies when
you bring the goods out. Note also that the Spanish customs at la Farga
de Moles search every car coming out. The French at Pas de la Casa make
spot checks so you take your chance if you try to drive through without
declaring. :-)
