Customs
The serious part of international travel is clearing Customs. Learn exactly what you will need to do and what should not travel by visiting:
Duty Free
Duty Free shopping is the fun start of your international travel journey, but restrictions do apply.
Normal baggage allowances apply to your Duty Free purchases, and if applicable, excess baggage charges may apply. If your purchases go over the carry-on baggage limits, you will need to check in your Duty Free shopping.
NOTE: International to international transit passengers may be subject to additional airport security screening at the point of transfer. All Duty Free liquids, aerosols and gels may be confiscated if above maximum limitations and packing requirements.
