The new Arrivals Duty Free Shop opened its doors this week at the LF Wade International Airport, allowing passengers to shop duty free immediately after arriving on the Island.Located between the Immigration arrivals hall and the baggage reclaim area at the airport, the new store, operated by Bermuda Duty Free Ltd, will offer a wide selection of wines and spirits and tobacco products at duty free prices.Charles Gosling, who is the managing director of Bermuda Duty Free Ltd, said the store plans to develop its offerings further by introducing a pre-order service whereby travellers can select products either upon departure at the airport or by ordering beforehand.Pre-ordered duty free items will be packaged and ready for pick up by customers upon their arrival in Bermuda.A statement from Government yesterday said the debut of the new Arrivals Duty Free Shop signifies the successful outcome of the combined efforts of the Customs Department, the Department of Airport Operations, the Attorney General’s Chambers and Bermuda Duty Free Ltd over the past year to extend duty free shopping to both returning Bermuda residents and visitors alike.Government expects that Bermuda will realise significant economic and other benefits from the operation of the Arrivals Duty Free Shop.In order to assist Customs in monitoring arrivals duty free sales, all purchases will be distributed in clearly marked and sealed packages. Purchasers of duty free goods will not be permitted to repack, open, consume or dispose of their duty free goods to any other person before clearing Customs.Bermuda joins more than 50 countries around the world that have arrivals duty free shops, including the UK. A number of other countries are actively considering implementing arrivals duty free.
