Duty-free shopping
Duty-free shopping refers to the purchase of goods from specially designated stores that are exempt from local import duties and taxes. This typically occurs at international airports, seaports, and border crossings. When travelers buy goods from duty-free shops, they can save money on items like alcohol, tobacco, perfumes, and cosmetics. However, there are limits on how much you can bring back into your home country without incurring taxes. Duty-free shopping is available only to international travelers and usually occurs when departing from or arriving in a foreign country.
