    Why do I have to show my boarding pass when purchasing Duty Free?
    Cam J Cashman
    Community Answer
    This is for the UK: HM Revenue and Customs requires Duty Free retailers to check customers’ boarding passes in order to prevent criminals from exploiting the system. Therefore you will be required to show your boarding pass when buying alcohol and tobacco, for example.

  • Question
    Can you buy liquor in a duty-free store if you're not flying internationally?
    Community Answer
    You may purchase liquor and other goods from a duty-free store any time you leave the country, though there may be limits based on which countries you visit and how long you are there. You do not have to fly internationally to visit a duty-free store. Many duty-free stores are located along the highways and towns that cross international borders as well.
