About Duty Free Offer

Practical guides to airport shopping: what you can bring home, what's actually cheaper and where the duty-free markup hides.

Most people find out about customs limits the hard way: at the red channel, holding one bottle too many.

Duty Free Offer is a set of practical guides for that moment. We read the official allowance tables, walk the terminals, and explain in plain English what you can carry home and what it really costs.

We also call out the markup. Luxury goods, liquor and cartons are sometimes cheaper at the gate and sometimes cheaper with a VAT refund in town. We'll tell you which.

Rules changed at your airport? Let us know on the contact page and we'll update the guide.
