[Tips] Korean duty free shop

How to use duty free shops. You do not know?


The tired rainy season is gradually over, and a full-scale vacation season will begin in about a week or two. As many foreign tourists come to the airport for the holiday season, duty-free shops are emerging as a must-have course for travelers.
The joy of being able to buy expensive products that I usually want to buy at a discounted price adds to the enjoyment of the trip. However, the use of duty free shops is not as simple as it seems. Even if you usually use our usual duty-free shop, you may have missed it and missed it. If you have decided to use the Dewang Duty Free Shop, let's enjoy it with a little bit more for sure.
Use of detailed duty-free shops! I will revisit it again.

Who can use it?
Anyone who has completed flight booking is available.

When is it available?
It is usually available only when you leave Japan (Internet and local duty free shops are available a month before your departure) and can not be used when entering Japan. However, there are not many items to choose from.

Where can I buy it?
You can usually purchase items at duty free shops in downtown, airport duty free shops, duty free shops, and internet duty free shops. Even in the same duty-free shop, there may be slight differences in goods or prices.


1. City Duty Free Shop

You can purchase goods at duty free shops in the city and then pick them up at the departure point of the airport.

- How to use
1. Prepare a ticket with your passport (you only need to know the flight number and boarding time).
2. Check your passport at the entrance of the duty-free shop, buy a purchase record card and shop.
3. On the day of departure, go to the airport (bonded area) where you can pick up the goods after the immigration inspection at the airport and search for the goods.
* Place of delivery: Location of delivery place may be slightly different for each brand. Check the map on the back of the envelope where you will receive your voucher.

- Available period: It is limited to the overseas departing person. From one month before departure to the day before departure


- Advantages: Easy to shop because the language is free to communicate.
You can see it with your own eyes.
Won can be used (exchange rate is low)
A / S can be easily received.

- Disadvantages: You can not get goods immediately after purchase. (Can be picked up at the airport desk)
It is a hassle to travel with things you have received from the Indian market.

- Note: Due to the crowded people during peak season, the exchange time in the delivery area may be delayed.
Let's start at the airport.

2. Airport Duty Free Shop

You can use the duty-free shop in the bonded area at the airport until you arrive at the airport after the departure of the airport. You can find it at most international airports around the world.


- Advantage: You can get the goods on the spot after purchase.
- Disadvantage: When you want A / S or return, you have to go to airport.
- Note: The total purchase quota announced at the airport is $ 3,000.
However, the total amount implied here is simply the maximum amount that one person can purchase at duty free shops.
The tax exemption limit for importing into the country is $ 400. If it is more than that, you have to declare it to the customs office and pay 20% of the duty-free price
It is possible to bring it into the country. High-end goods should not exceed $ 500 per piece.

3. In-flight duty free shops

It is useful for those who do not have time to buy souvenirs abroad because the stewardess sells them on the airplane.
You can see the catalog of goods in front of the airplane seat and write on the duty-free application form and tell the stewardess. In the middle of the flight, you can buy goods as soon as the stewardess starts to sell the goods with the duty free sales announcement.

- Advantages: It is cheaper than airport duty free shops.
It is easy to buy a travel gift because it is prepared mainly for popular items.
- Disadvantages: There are few kinds of goods, and most items are limited to cosmetics, fashion accessories, and liquor.
- Note: If you have any items to buy, check out the information on the airline homepage and apply by phone, fax or internet 24 hours before departure. You can get it right on board after boarding the plane.

4. Internet Duty Free Shop

It is literally a way to use the duty free shop on the Internet. Payment can be made only by credit card, and you can receive goods at the delivery desk after the check-in procedure like the duty free shop in the city.

- Available time: From the month before departure to the day before
- Advantages: Easy.
Discount rate is high.
- Disadvantages: Items can not be checked directly.
High-end luxury brands may be missing.
The update is slow.
- Note: If you register as a new member at each duty free shop site, you can get additional discount using coupon.

And so on Other Questions

How is exchange rate applied when purchasing in foreign currency?
The amount is converted according to the exchange rate on the day of purchase.

* Except for the internet duty free shop, you can pay by credit card, won, dollar, yen.

I got a discount, but if I get more than $ 400 I have to pay extra ... Can not I bring it in secret?
Since the contents of the purchased goods and the personal information of the buyer are recorded in the computerized system, they can not be brought in secretly.

Where did you buy A / S from our shop?
You can use the brand direct A / S center. However, it is difficult to obtain A / S from domestic duty-free shops. Even if I can get A / S, I have to go out overseas again and it takes a long time to process.

Is it possible to exchange?
It is the thing brought in after it already brought in overseas and can not be exchanged except the case that there is a problem. It must be confirmed immediately upon receipt of the goods to be exchanged. Most of the time, it will guide you to the A / S point operated by the retail store.

Is it possible to refund?
First, there should be no scratches or damage to the object. Although it is possible to make refunds depending on the situation, but the procedure is not simple, it is a good idea to set up the items and models you will buy before you travel, and then make a deliberate purchase.

What happens when you forgot to go to the shop to find things?
It can not be canceled automatically. You can return the payment by returning the goods exchange right to the store after making the cancellation report to the duty free shop or the entry point.

Duty-free shopping know-how

1. Duty-free VIP card application is essential.
Regardless of the purchase amount, you can get it at the entrance of the city duty free shop or the Internet. Ordinary sale items are also discounted by 5 ~ 10%.

2. Use discount coupons.
Sometimes we distribute coupons at the entrance to our duty-free shops. You can download the coupon and print it by entering the duty free shop coupon site (http://dfsshop.co.kr).

3. Do not just throw away the map that comes from the carrier.
Often duty-free discount coupons are attached.

4. Use the sale period.
Regular sales, usually between July and August, have the highest discount rates, and items vary.

5. Use the Korean Won to make a payment.
If you use a card or foreign currency, it may be higher than the won-dollar amount that was calculated due to exchange rate fluctuations.

6. Choose styles that do not get out of fashion when choosing things.
If you do not want to spend a couple of times this year on expensive and affordable luxury items, let's choose the most basic style rather than a trendy or seasonal style.

Duty-free shops are available at almost all international airports around the world, but the type and price of goods may vary from city to city. It is a good idea to check for duty-free shops in the countries you plan to travel in advance.
