Duty free exempts an international traveler from paying customs duties on various commodities, typically alcohol, and tobacco and luxury goods bought. Since duty free items are for consumption or use outside the country, the government doesn’t impose taxes on the goods.
Generally, international travelers like you have different options to buy duty free. You can buy at the airport of departure, on the plane, and at the airport of arrival. In Sydney, for example, there are five tax and duty free stores in Terminal 1, three of these stores you can walk through on the way to the gate while the other two are located in arrivals so you can also buy duty free items when coming into Sydney. On board or in-flight duty free lets you shop while you are flying 30,000 feet above the ground. Products brochures and catalogs are available in your seat to browse. Flight attendants will be there to answer your queries or assist your purchases.

Sydney duty free store is the place where you’ll find exceptional deals on a wide range of products at the low duty free prices.

Sydney duty free shopping also offers you a wide range of products that are not available locally, from tobacco to jewelry to fragrances, you name it! You are advised to check with the duty free laws of the country you are entering to avoid inconveniences at the customs though.
