How to deal with airport security when shopping in duty free shops

Transit in Europe and the United States.

If your flight needs to transfer in Europe and the United States, most of them need to go through a second security check before boarding at the transit place. In this case, wine, skin care products and other products purchased at duty-free shops at the original departure country may be restricted from boarding with passengers. tips

In transit across the United States, passengers are often required to collect their baggage and go through the check-in procedures again, at which time the previously purchased liquid duty-free goods can be added to the luggage and checked together to avoid seizure.

Not all flights connecting within the U.S. require baggage collection and recheck-in, and airlines can move baggage directly to the next available United aircraft if they reach an agreement with the U.S. aviation authority. Passengers will still be required to go through security checks and have their belongings scanned. As a result, the liquid products purchased at the duty-free shop at the previous stop will not even have the opportunity to be put in the checked baggage.

Once you find that the duty-free goods purchased in your hand cannot be put into the checked baggage, you should contact the ground staff of the relevant airline as soon as possible and ask for additional check-in such as putting the duty-free goods into your carry-on backpack.

Stopover at Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan.

If your flight stops at Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan and requires a short layover at the airport, passengers will need to go through security screening as soon as they get off the plane without having to re-issue their boarding pass. For this reason, duty-free items purchased at the airport at the previous station cannot be re-checked. Then you have to give up the new purchase of alcohol, cosmetics and other liquid items that do not meet the boarding standards at the transit security checkpoint.

Language issues. Tourists who don't speak the language often have the question of how to get a receipt when shopping at duty-free shops at some airports in the United States. The counter lady puts the items in the bag, but does not present them directly to the passenger.

Don't worry, the duty-free items purchased will be delivered directly to the boarding gate, and passengers can claim their belongings at the boarding gate when they board the aircraft.

Narita Airport has a large duty-free shop area and a wide variety of products, making it a shopper's paradise in Tokyo. Liquids such as liquor and cosmetics purchased at duty-free shops and other premises after completing immigration procedures at Narita Airport are free to be carried on board without restrictions.

When you shop at the airport duty-free shop, your luggage has already been checked in and has passed through security, so everything you buy is poured directly onto the plane. And a lot of cosmetics bought in duty-free shops are sealed and can be taken on the plane.

But if you want to continue to transfer, then there is no way to pass the second security check, and the requirements for passing through the security check again are also 100ml of liquid, 1L of alcohol, and it must be packed in a sealed package provided by the duty-free shop, and cannot be unpacked. If you don't open it, you can check it in if you are overweight.

Duty-free shops refer to shops approved by the General Administration of Customs that set up sales places that meet the requirements of customs supervision and supervised warehouses for storing duty-free goods at locations approved by the People's Republic of China or its authorized departments, and sell duty-free goods to the specified objects.

At present, the duty-free shops in China mainly include duty-free shops at ports, duty-free shops for means of transport, duty-free shops in the city, duty-free shops for diplomats, duty-free shops for ships, and duty-free shops for foreign exchange for Chinese personnel going abroad.

Most airport duty-free shops are located within the distance from security and immigration to the boarding gate. To be able to go through security and immigration, you first need to have a plane ticket. In other words, only with a ticket can you be eligible to enter security and immigration. So there is no such thing as having to hold a ticket to enter the duty-free shop.

1. Matters for entering the duty-free shop at the capital airport:

1. Airport duty-free shops are for international routes, and you can only enter the duty-free shops when you go out of the customs with your passport, and you don't have to think about taking domestic routes, except for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, China is a domestic route. Moreover, there are duty-free shops for departure and entry, and the size is different, and you need to provide your passport or Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan pass when you pay for things in duty-free shops.

2. All passengers entering and exiting the airport must present their boarding pass and passport (that is, they need to use passport and registration card to buy goods) regardless of whether they purchase duty-free goods at duty-free shops or inbound duty-free shops.

3. Capital Airport provides storage services, you can shop first when you leave and pick up the goods on your return trip!

The targets mainly include people going abroad for business, ocean-going seafarers, overseas Chinese, foreign Chinese, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Chinese citizens visiting relatives abroad, and foreign experts in China.

The types of duty-free goods operated by duty-free shops shall be reported to the General Administration of Customs for approval by the business units. The words "China Tariff Unpaid" are prominently printed on the inner and outer packaging of duty-free imported tobacco products and alcoholic beverages sold in duty-free shops

Is there common sense upstairs?

Duty-free shopping is only available on international flights.

Domestic flights** Duty-free goods?? It's funny.

You can't buy tax-free things.

Can't buy it. Because only international flights are available.

I am an airport worker.

Trust me.

andfly1985Do you have any common sense about this person?

Do you know what duty-free goods are? I admire you.

The duty-free shop is in the waiting room, and when you enter the duty-free shop, it means that the check-in procedures have been completed, the checked baggage has been checked in, and the security check has ended, so you are left to wait for boarding in the waiting room, and anything bought in the duty-free shop can be brought on the plane. Everything in the duty-free shop is a safe and qualified product that has been inspected and approved for sale, so you can bring it on the plane, and the duty-free shop will pack it.

OK. Duty-free purchases are allowed on board. Liquids, such as liquor, cosmetics, etc., must be packed in a sealed bag in a duty-free shop and packed with the receipt for inspection at the security checkpoint. You must be at your final destination to open the package.

That's right, it's okay to be overweight, as long as you're not overweight.

It should be like this, perfume or something is not a liquid, so you can also bring it back.

Prohibited items cannot be brought on board, and some can be brought on board by presenting a security check certificate.

No, for example, if you buy a drink, you won't be able to bring it on the plane if you don't finish it. Thank you.

Since airport duty-free shops are only visible to passengers after passing through security, they can bring goods purchased at airport duty-free shops directly on board.

According to the relevant regulations, if the passenger intends to keep the prohibited items from the airport security check, then the passenger can request the security personnel to temporarily store them, and the civil transport airport authority will provide them with temporary storage services, but the storage period of the temporary storage items cannot exceed 30 days.

After all, the safety check is responsible for the lives of all people on the plane, and it is definitely a major matter of life and death, do not underestimate the importance of this link, many disasters and tragedies are just caused by temporary negligence.

Duty-free shops are all after the security check (there are also before the security check, but you must have a passport and a departure ticket when you buy it, and you will not be given anything to you, and you will receive it with the invoice at the entrance of the plane when you board the plane). This means that the purchase is not used in the country where it is leaving, so it is not subject to excise tax in that country. Duty-free shops can bring everything on board, and the staff will inform you of the restrictions on the amount of liquids you can buy (alcohol, cosmetics, etc.), and some of them will be kept by the flight attendant after boarding the plane because of the in-store packaging.

Buying things in foreign shopping malls is usually to buy them in stores that can handle tax refunds, and then withdraw money (local currency) at the tax refund office in the airport hall with the list given by the store (for example, it has your passport number on it, so you must bring your passport when you buy it). There is a large limit on the amount of liquid that can be carried on board, and each container cannot exceed 100ml, and all containers must be packed in a transparent and sealable (zip lock) 8 inches x 8 inches=

20 cm x 20 cm plastic bag for security checks, more than will be confiscated. (You can check the website of any airline). Excess liquids can be checked in, less restricted, beware of packaging.

But more, if the customs spot check you when you enter China, you will have to pay Chinese import tax.

What will the security staff ask for when I go to airport security? I know everything about security!
