* Shops and stores subject to closure due to COVID-19, please check ahead before visiting.
Korea is home to numerous fashion and beauty trends, and this characteristic is well reflected in the nation's shopping culture. In particular, duty free shops are a great way to purchase name-brand luxury items at a great price!
Duty free shops can be found in major international airports as well as international ferry terminals. In particular, the duty free shop in Incheon International Airport is ideal for tourists as it meets the international standard in size and services provided.
Duty free shops are located throughout the major cities and provinces, including Seoul. Moreover, the purchased goods from these places can be sent directly to the departure airport or seaport, removing the hassle of carrying and packing extra items. Requirements are the departure ticket and passport; which are needed during both purchase and collection of duty free goods.
If there is no time to visit a duty free store during your trip, shopping online is also an option as long as you have your passport, departure ticket and credit card information. All travelers scheduled to leave Korea are eligible for online shopping, and the purchased items will be retrievable at the designated duty free pick-up zones at international airports or passenger seaports on the date of departure.
