What to Buy at Duty-Free Shops in Vanuatu

Duty-free shops can be a great place to get some items while you are on your vacation, as well as a few items that you want to take back home with you. Typically, foreign-made goods should be cheaper than items at a local store or supermarket, which makes them a good bargain, especially if you need them anyway.

To get the best deals, research whether the product is going to be cheaper if you enter the country with it or if you get it and bring it back home with you. Depending on the items, there could be some products you want to bring into the country and some you want to take home with you from the country that you are visiting.

One of the best ways to find bargains on what to buy is to shop around.

Another good idea for determining what to buy at duty-free shops is to comparison shop. If you have the extra time and are concerned about paying the best price, you can see where the savings really are. The more you check out prices, the better equipped you will be to determine which items offer a significant savings and which ones do not. Typically, you can find alcohol, cigarettes, and similar products at a heavy reduced rate.

Duty-Free Shops at Airports

Generally, duty-free items are sold in airports, in-flight between two countries, aboard ships at sea, and at international land border crossings. Buying items from duty-free shops allow you to purchase items, like personal care products and souvenirs, without paying the import duty on those purchases.

In addition to alcohol and tobacco, visitors to duty-free shops can also find savings on perfume, watches, jewelry, and accessories. Candy, items related to travel, and gifts are also found in almost any duty-free shop. Many duty-free shops are set up to accommodate any traveler’s needs.

Duty-Free Allowances

Before you purchase too many goods at your duty-free shops, it is important to remember that there is a certain duty-free allowances or limits on the amount of goods that you bring back with you. More importantly, some limits are for the monetary amount and other limits are on the actual item, like a liter limit on alcohol, a carton or pack limit on cigarettes, etc. While it may not seem like a big deal to you, it could cause a problem in customs upon your entry into the country. There are several hotel accommodations to be found on HotelsCombined.com that will also put you close to the duty-free shops.
