Who can shop duty free at Heathrow?


Who can shop duty free at Heathrow? From 1 January 2021, all passengers travelling outside of the UK can purchase duty free alcohol and tobacco.


Do you buy duty free on departure or arrival UK?

UK domestic legislation prevents duty free being extended to domestic travellers, so passengers must be leaving the UK in order to be able to purchase goods for their own personal use free of duty and taxes. This has been the law for many years and is unaffected by any Brexit related changes.


How much can you take on plane from duty-free?

These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process. Pack items that are in containers larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters in checked baggage.
