Definition
This industry is part of the Retail Trade division in Australia. Operators in this industry retail a broad duty free goods to inbound and outbound international travellers. These products are purchased from domestic or international wholesalers. Industry operators then retail these goods, through their stores to international travellers for private use. Duty free stores are essentially warehouses licensed and controlled by federal government Customs and Excise legislation. These warehouses are permitted to operate as retail outlets to sell customable and excisable goods to international sea and airline travellers. An outward duty free store is a warehouse authorised for sale of goods to departing international travellers. These stores sell predominantly to air travellers and are situated both on and off international airports. Off-airport outward duty free store may also sell to travellers departing by sea. An inward duty free store is a warehouse authorised to sell only alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and perfumes to arriving international (both Australian and overseas residents) travellers. These shops are situated on airports at a point before the arriving international travellers present themselves to customs for clearance. It is important to note that those entities which primarily operate in the sale of goods covered by this industry to domestic residents who are not travelling overseas are excluded from this industry. ANZSIC definition: This class consists of units mainly engaged in retailing duty free goods via duty free stores.
