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?
If you are traveling to a place where things like alcohol or cigs are very highly taxed, it may make sense to buy it. Otherwise, nothing in those shops is close to the market price in the U.S.. Also a last chance to get a souvenir if convenience is worth the price.
