Frequently Asked Questions
Is duty-free shopping really cheaper?
Duty-free shopping removes excise duties and local taxes, saving 10-35% depending on the product. The biggest savings are on liquor, tobacco, and perfume. Electronics and fashion savings are typically smaller.
What are the duty-free limits?
US travelers can bring back 1 liter of alcohol, 200 cigarettes, and $800 worth of goods duty-free per person. Exceeding these limits may result in customs duties on the overage.
When is duty-free NOT a good deal?
Duty-free is not always cheapest for electronics, branded chocolate (often cheaper at regular stores), or items on sale at home retailers. Always compare prices before buying.
