 | EgyptCAI, Cairo International AirportYes, you can buy your Duty Free on arrival in this country. Most major 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. This 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 opportunity to buy liquid products such as spirits or wine, so you can avoid 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. Arrival Duty Free in Terminal 3 and also adjacent to Terminal 2 (arrivals) may be accessed up to 48 hours after arrival in Egypt as can the downtown arrivals shop, which is available at City Stars Shopping Mall, Nasr City. There may now be some restrictions on the purchase on arrival and import of alcohol and tobacco into this country as the Egyptian Ministry of Finance has introduced some new restrictions. But, there are confusing reports as to whether these regulations will only apply to the downtown stores. |
