duty-free

Without import charges

Duty-free describes goods sold without the taxes normally imposed on imports: duty-free liquor, duty-free perfume.

Duty-free shops operate in airports and border crossings, selling to travelers who will carry purchases across international borders.

The savings can be significant on heavily taxed items like alcohol and tobacco.
