What is duty-free?
If you’ve ever flown internationally (or passed through an international terminal), you’ve likely seen the brightly-lit consumer paradise of a duty-free shop.
But what is a duty-free shop? These are stores that sell all kinds of products for which a “duty” (a local import tax or fee placed on goods by government entities) is not included. Normally, buying products in a duty-free shop allows travelers to save money on liquor, tobacco, fragrances, cosmetics, luxury items, candy, and more.
Note: When traveling internationally and shopping duty-free (a great thing to do on your airport layover), the cashier at the register is going to ask to see your boarding pass to verify travel out of the country. Travelers leaving the United States for at least 48 hours may shop duty-free.
