What's the deal with Duty Free?
Duty free is a smart way to save when you’re travelling but, like with all great deals, there are sensible limits.
If you’re planning to use them yourself or gift them to a friend or relative, you’re allowed to bring in a certain amount of goods without paying tax or duty. How much you bring in depends on what you are buying and the direction of travel. So, make the most of it, and always enjoy responsibly.
