Duty free refers to the ability of travelers en route to buy merchandise at retail outlets generally residing in transportation hubs like airports which are free from the tax(duty) imposed within that country. Travelers can be en­ route or arriving/departing from certain locations.

The merchandise sold duty free has certain stipulation assigned by the jurisdiction. The stipulations can include how products are retailed or the process by which the duty or lack there of can be calculated. Although duty free merchandise is not imposed tax upon purchase, the traveler can be assessed tax once they reach their final destination or port of entry. This can occur if the value of the merchandise or the quantity of the duty-­free merchandise exceeds an imposed limit for a specific country being entered. Duty-­free retail locations are generally placed in international zones, such as international airports or seaports.
