Having just come through the Int'l airport, what is the difference between the duty-free shop prior to going through customs, and the one on the "other side" of customs, i.e., near the Tropic Air gate. Are the prices different? They both say duty-free, so why buy and have to declare to customs, if you can buy right after going through customs before hopping on a Tropic Air flight?

For whatever reason the government has licensed the international arrivals duty free shop to sell to incoming internationally travelling passengers. But when you go to the departure lounge you can't buy at the shops there unless you are departing the country.

Thanks Amanda. That was what I thought might be the case, but there are no signs or explanation provided, so I wasn't sure.

I just want to make sure this has not changed, and you can still buy 4 bottles each when entering the country and you can still fly 4 bottles each to San Pedro. And one last question, do you have to pack them in your luggage or do they put them in boxes and give them to you when you board your flight to the island. Thanks for any replies, 6 more nights and we will be there….

Last time I went through the airport Tropic took the bottles from me and then handed them back to me when I boarded the aircraft.

The arrival store is just that. If you did not buy in Houston or Miami, you can buy here in Belize cheaper. You will have to claim just the same as if you brought in from the us but it will be duty free. You can not buy duty free and jump on tropic.
All duty free shopping inside security in Belize, you will claim in the US.

Has anyone been to the arrival duty free store recently? When I was through in July the store was almost completely empty - as in no selection at all. I'm coming back down tomorrow and want to know if I should buy my vodka in the states or in the more convenient arrival duty free.
