Why are there Duty Free stores?

883 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?

I feel like it also saves time for the shopper since they don’t actually have to go through customs twice to just buy whatever it is they are buying from the other side of the border.

Cuts down on the work required for customs as well. It’s really just a win/win for everyone involved.
