Purchases made at duty free outlets off airports are treated differently from those made at airports. This process has changed in response to new security measures around the carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels in carry-on baggage.
The "Docket plucking" for duty and tax free liquid, aerosol and gel purchases made at off airport duty and tax free stores may now be undertaken landside so that you can pack these items in your hold baggage. The off airport duty or tax free store should pack your liquid, aerosol and gel purchases in a sealed bag separate from non liquid, aerosol and gel purchases when you make your purchase.
You should ensure your sealed bag containing liquid, aerosol and gel duty and tax free items is packed securely in your hold baggage prior to reaching the airline check-in counter. You should have plucked the docket off the sealed bag prior to packing these items. You should be ready to hand in the docket to Duty Free Security Company staff at the airport.
Once you have passed through the passport control point you must hand your docket to Duty Free Security Company staff as you usually would. Duty Free Security Company staff will check that these dockets only apply to liquid, aerosol and gel items.
