What is Duty Free shopping?
Duty Free shopping exempts a customer from having to pay customs duties on various commodities, typically alcohol, tobacco and luxury goods for international travelers. Since duty free items are for consumption or use outside the country, the government doesn't levy taxes on the goods.
Because the duties on alcohol and tobacco are typically steep wherever you go, shopping for these products duty free usually means significant savings.
