Question

You are returning from a european vacation and decide to buy some chocolates in the duty-free shop at the london airport. what does “duty free” mean?

Answer 1

The correct answer is that ''duty free'' means that the goods are exempt from taxes and duties at national and local levels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Duty-free shop is the name given to the store that is usually found inside an international zone in an international airport and whose main characteristic is in that the products of the store are exempt from the payment of both national and local taxes and duties as well, under the condition and logic that the buyers will take the goods out of the jurisdiction of the country and therefore they might pay the taxes in other country or might not. In addition, those goods are exempt from taxes but they tend to be more expensive than regular goods outside the airport.

Answer 2

Duty are taxes that are paid on imported goods.
Duty free means that you do not have to pay import duty on that particular item you buy.
