Can I exchange points for goods in the duty-free shop?

Of course.

Most goods can be returned without reason. It is worth noting that food is not accepted for return because of its shelf life. In addition, cosmetics purchased in Japan must be put into specific transparent bags after tax exemption. If this bag is torn, even if the cosmetics themselves are unopened, they cannot be returned.

The procedure of returning goods in Japan is very simple. If tourists want to return the goods after purchase, they only need to go through the return formalities at the payment office with the goods and shopping receipts. Tourists enjoy 8% duty-free shopping in Japan. After completing the return formalities at the payment office, tourists need to bring shopping receipts and passports to the duty-free counter to refund the previous tax refund amount to the store.

For example, if a tourist buys clothes, according to British law, even after ten and a half months, he can return them with a valid shopping receipt within the prescribed time limit, without any additional conditions and without paying handling fees and credit card fees. As for discounted goods, different shopping malls have different regulations, and there is usually a 7-day warranty period for returning goods without reason.

With customs duty, consumption tax and merchant bonus, it finally becomes a high-grade cosmetic with the value of 1340 yuan on the shopping receipt.

However, these taxes do not apply to goods sold in duty-free shops. Because most of them are located in the "customs clearance" or special areas designated by the state, the "imported" goods here have not really entered the China market. The sales target is short-term outbound and transit tourists. In this regard, the state is exempt from customs duties, consumption tax, import value-added tax and sales value-added tax.

In addition, duty-free goods are generally directly supplied by brands, and there are fewer circulation links, saving transportation, warehousing and other expenses. For example, an imported ranolazine male drug with a retail price of 398 yuan sells well in Japan, and only sells 198 yuan in duty-free shops. For goods with high tariffs, such as tobacco and alcohol, duty-free shops will give you greater discounts and really let you get wool.
