Yes, you can buy your Duty Free on arrival in this country. Many gateway airports in this territory have arrivals duty free shopping facilities in the baggage claim area where you can buy tax-free goods before you pass through customs.

But, these stores are normally only located in the international arrival area of gateway airports, so if you are taking a domestic connecting flight, it is best to buy at your first point of arrival into the country.

An arrivals duty free facility not only enables you to pick up any last minute items that you were unable to buy at your outbound airport, but it gives you the inbound duty free shopping opportunity to buy liquid products such as spirits or wine, so you can avoid any potential problems like confiscation by security.

More airports are now introducing an online duty free and tax-free pre-order service, this allows you to arrange the purchase of goods before your departure. This may be useful as the sale of liquid products (especially alcohol) and known as 'LAGS', can often be restricted at your departure location due to airport or airline security regulations and although these regulations are gradually being lifted, shopping at arrival and online pre-order can alleviate this problem.

When available, we will add a link beneath this text, directly to the airport retail website.

Visitors to The Bahamas enjoy extensive tax-free and duty free shopping facilities, both in the port areas and also downtown. There are reduced import duties on many gift products such as watches, china, crystal, jewellery and other luxuries. The authenticity of products is regularly checked by the Government, so to maintain high retail standards. Liquor products have competitive prices, but if you are departing by cruise your ship may hold the spirits until your final disembarkation. Some stores offer a “mail home” service for goods you do not wish to carry.
