For those of you who are planning to travel abroad, we will introduce tips for using duty-free shops.
A duty-free shop is a place that sells products that are exempt from customs duties and domestic taxes. Generally, the goods we purchase include value-added tax and individual consumption tax, but at exempt stores, you can receive tax exemption from customs duties, value-added tax, individual consumption tax, liquor tax, and tobacco consumption tax. So, those who are preparing for a trip will definitely visit duty-free shops. In this post, we will collect and introduce useful information when using online duty-free shops.
What is an internet duty free shop?

Duty Free Shop
Duty-free shops that allow purchases 60 days prior to departure date, like the commonly known duty-free shops at the arrival hall, are called internet duty-free shops (online duty-free shops).
Internet duty-free shops (online duty-free shops) can be used by people traveling abroad. The advantages of online duty-free shops include higher discount rates and coupons than offline duty-free shops, and the ability to set up notifications and make purchases within the period even if popular products are out of stock.
Duty-free limit and tariff-exempt items
The duty-free limit is less than USD 800 for the total price of goods per traveler. (Products that received tax free benefits from abroad + products purchased at duty-free shops)
However, alcohol, cigarettes, and perfume are excluded from the duty-free limit, so they can be excluded from the duty-free product price calculation up to the purchase limit.
Alcohol: 2 bottles (total 2L, less than USD 400)
Tobacco: 1 carton (200 cigarettes), electronic cigarette (200 cigarettes, 20ml nicotine, 110g other types). If you purchase two or more types of cigarettes, only one type is exempt from tax.
Perfume: 60ml

Order of using internet duty free shop
Sign up for your desired internet duty-free shop. (You can purchase as a non-member, but we recommend signing up because you can receive additional benefits such as new sign-up benefits, use of accumulated points, and point accumulation, and you can enjoy more benefits as your level increases depending on your purchase history.)
Shop for the product you want to purchase like you would when shopping online. (Since you can purchase from 60 days before your departure date, we recommend that you browse slowly and set up a notification in advance if popular products are sold out. Also, if products you have already purchased are on sale at a cheaper price due to time specials, You can also pay again after cancellation.)
Products can be picked up at the delivery area on the day of departure. (We recommend getting an exchange voucher, but if you enter your departure information correctly when signing up and purchasing, you can also deliver the product with your passport and airline ticket.)
