Duty free

What tourists should check before using Korea duty-free deals

A fast checklist for departure airport, pickup rules, passport needs, and product restrictions.

1. Departure link

Duty-free online deals are tied to your departure itinerary, not just your location in Korea.

2. Pickup checklist

Check pickup airport, terminal, passenger name, passport number, and final order deadline.

3. Allowance rules

Alcohol, tobacco, cosmetics, and high-value goods can have separate allowance or return rules.

4. Before payment

Because discounts and stock change quickly, always reopen the official event page before payment.
