adelaide47 Posted October 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Can anyone advise if there is a duty free at Sydney terminal..... Or indeed any shops at all there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin-m Posted October 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi there :) Not to sure which terminal you are referring too, but the only terminal in Sydney with duty free is Sydney Airport, neither of the cruise terminals have it. If you are going on a cruise, the cheapest duty free will be from overseas, especially if you visit Port Vila. Even the cruise ship itself will have cheaper duty free then what Sydney does.

GHDPeter Posted October 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2012 And don't forget TRS, you can get the GST refunded for purchases over $300 and under $1000 when purchased within 30 days of departure from ANY retail outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiedisneyfan Posted October 28, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just a variance on the comment below. You can claim back GST on goods over $1000 if a family pools their allowance of up to $900 each adult and $450 each child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbypopsie Posted October 28, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nope not a single shop at the Overseas Passenger Terminal...the place is an embarassment. There are at the airport but as someone said you will do better overseas or even on the ship. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariel4g1000 Posted February 14, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2013 just found out that you cannot get a refund of GSt from NZ government at all regardless of what shopkeepers tell you. This information comes from NZ High Commission in Canberra, Australia. So duty free shopping is nonexistant in NZ. Ray Philps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmw Posted February 14, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2013 if you're cruising from the OPT they have the duty free at the Circular Quay, in George st opposite the terminal.....The Galleria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange that someone who say you can as it has never been possible. Only exports are duty free. HOWEVER we do have duty free shopping at our airports and you will find their prices are cheaper than Australia particularly for spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
