Why are there Duty Free stores?

869 views

After countries go thru all the trouble of taxing imports, why then would they allow ppl to just buy whatever they want duty free? Why do these shops exist? What benefit do they serve? And why are they only at airports?

The “why are they only at airports” part is probably because international airports are technically treated as little stateless enclaves within their host country for legal purposes.
