If you purchase duty-free goods at the airport prior to your outbound flight...?

Question

...do they count towards your duty-free allowance on your inbound flight?

Answer 1

No, what you buy going out has nothing to do with what you buy coming back.

Answer 2

You are allowed to carry a certain amount of goods through customs "duty free" wherever they were purchased. For example, you are allowed to import £140 worth of general goods without duty. That's £140 in total, not £140 on your outbound trip and another £140 on your return. The only exception is if your trip was for a long period, so you can claim the goods had been in use for more than 6 months.

Answer 3

Yes they do if you are bringing them back. Keep receipts and show that they have been unopened. The problem is that you have more than your duty free limit on your outbound flight and so are legally liable to pay duty at your destination.

For example, if you buy 2 litres of whiskey for the outbound and return journey, the second litre would count towards your inbound limit The issue is that you are carrying double the legal amount on your outbound journey. You would be liable for duty on the second litre at your destination.

Answer 4

Yes they do. When you go into a duty free area thats what it is Duty Free, so when you come out duty is payable, with the exception that if has been used.

Answer 5

You can surely purchase alcohol at the Mumbai Airport, but my sincere advise is to avoid doing so if possible coz of fake products.

Answer 6

No they don't. Just make sure you keep your receipt to prove when you purchased them.

Answer 7

not if you drink it/them when you get to where you are going

Answer 8
