Save When You Shop

Visitors to Barbados can benefit from duty-free shopping on items such as clothing, cosmetics, electronics, fragrances, jewellery, liquor and wines, and tobacco.

Duty-free prices are typically between 20% and 40% lower than regular prices, and vary depending on the item being purchased.

• Stores offering duty-free shopping in Barbados have both prices marked on merchandise for easy comparison.

The duty-free concession is applied instantly at checkout, upon presentation of a passport and proof of a valid departure ticket.

Depending on the retailer, shoppers may be presented with duplicate copies of their receipts—one to keep and the other for submission at the port of exit at their time of departure.

Note that most items bought duty-free, with the exception of alcohol and tobacco, are delivered immediately to the consumer at the time of purchase.

For further clarification on the duty-free process may contact the Barbados Tourism Authority at 1-800-221-9831, or duty-free retailers within Limegrove.
