Are duty-free cigarettes true?

Duty-free cigarettes are real. Duty-free cigarettes can be bought in airport duty-free shops and port duty-free shops, among which there are many famous foreign cigarettes such as Marlboro, Shoubainian and Camel. Duty-free cigarettes do exist, and because there is no corresponding tax, the price is cheaper in other channels.

Extended information:

Imported goods that are sold and supplied by duty-free shops to specified targets are imported duty-free. The varieties of duty-free goods operated by duty-free shops shall be reported to the General Administration of Customs for approval. The words "China Duty Not Paid" are printed in Chinese and English on the inside and outside packages of duty-free imported tobacco products and alcoholic beverages sold in duty-free shops.

Duty-free shops in different countries have different shopping methods. For example, if you shop in Korean duty-free shops, you must provide your passport and return air ticket. If you buy something, you can take it away if it is a Korean brand, but you can't take it away if it is a foreign brand. You have to pick it up at the airport when you return. There is a limit on the amount. In Japan, you can show your passport and air ticket and buy duty-free goods directly.

With the continuous promotion of comprehensive deepening reform and the establishment of Shanghai Free Trade Zone, some new trade models and innovative supervision models have been tested and replicated. According to the author's observation, at present, some regions in China have begun to try to set up duty-free shops in special supervision areas such as the comprehensive bonded area, so as to make the best use of the preferential policies of bonded and tax-free in the comprehensive bonded area.
