duty-free shopping

Untaxed airport retail

Duty-free shopping is purchasing goods at airports, border crossings, or other international transit points without paying import taxes or customs duties.

The savings apply mainly to alcohol, tobacco, perfume, and luxury items.

Travelers buy duty-free goods on departure and carry them across borders: I picked up a bottle of scotch at the duty-free shop.
