The Best Reasons to Shop Duty Free

Duty Free is a famous shopping center for travelers to experience luxury items. When shopping at Duty Free, you buy premium products without paying import taxes. It is usually done at airports, but there are also Duty Free shops outside the airport, like our Lotte Duty Free Sydney store.

The popularity of shopping at Lotte Duty Free has grown recently because the internet has made it easier to find deals and compare prices. In addition, some Duty Free stores offer online shopping with in-store click & collect options.

Prepare for Your Christmas Shopping Trip

More people travel abroad not just for work but also to experience leisure with continued globalisation. However, due to the world’s recent events, there are a lot of travel regulations imposed on countries such as Australia.

Don’t let this travel barrier stop you from your luxurious escapade. Know the new customs regulations and security measures for your next duty-free Christmas shopping trip abroad.

One of its examples is the new regulation that will make it harder for people to buy cheaper products in other countries than they would pay at home. The regulation responds to the fact that some people were buying more than they could consume while abroad and then selling it back home – thus depriving their own country of tax revenue.

More of these regulations should not slip your mind to enjoy your next shopping spree with delight. Make sure you research to avoid inconvenience on the item you are shooting to buy.

Duty Free Shopping Tips

Duty Free shopping is a fantastic experience. However, it can be even more enjoyable if you know some tricks. Here are some tips on how to make your duty-free shopping experience more enjoyable:

Avoid crowds of people
Get to the airport early and go through the check-in process before most people arrive. This way, you will have a better chance of finding what you’re looking for in a snap.
Tips for luxury brands
If you’re looking for luxury brands, we bet you already got your list. Check out stores that are outside the airport, too, like Lotte Duty Free. Most airports Duty Free has luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Gucci inside. However, some brands are not inside the airport. So it’s good to know that you have more choices too.
Bring your passport with you
When shopping at the Duty Free, always bring your passport with you. You might need it when checking out or if you want to return something or exchange it for another size or colour later.
Do some research
Make sure to make a checklist. If you are not a huge fan of writing, use digital notepads on your phone for convenience.
Prepare your wallet
Christmas can give a lot of crowd in the shop, and with all the upscale products, it can’t be helped. For a hassle-free payment, ensure that your card or cash is ready. Check our store locations page to find a Lotte Duty Free store near you.
