I thought that duty-free items are for use in overseas countries (with various quantity restrictions depending on destination country). For example, you’re not [I]supposed[/I] to buy something “duty-free” and use it within the country where you bought it.
So, if I arrive in Bali, pass through immigration, walk out to a “duty-free” shop and buy something, can I use it while I’m in Bali? Or do I have to take it back with me when I leave?
Another example. Say I arrive in Bali with one litre of whisky, pass border control, then go into the “duty-free” shop and buy three more bottles. I don’t see how that would be “legal” unless I’m supposed to export the extra bottles when I leave.
A friend of mine had a quick look at the shop a couple of days ago. He was going to get me a bottle of Irish whisky but didn’t see any. He did see a bottle of “Irish cream” (presumably Bailey’s) for Rp 300,000.
I also wonder if they have one litre bottles as opposed to the usual smaller ones generally available here. Or the smaller versions are “duty-free”.
