What is the difference between travel retail and duty-free?

Travel retail is a term that commonly refers to sales made in travel requirements. Duty-free and travel retail encompasses the sale of goods to international travelers. Duty-free shops are exempt from paying certain local or national taxes and duties requiring travelers to take their purchases out of the country.

Import, value-added and sales taxes – aka duty – are imposed on imported and exported products. A duty-free shop, therefore, sells things without adding those taxes to the price. You'll find duty-free shops in international airports, cruise ships and areas where tourists congregate.
