What is it called "Duty Free", "Free Shop" or "Tax Free"?


The French call it "Boutique Hors Taxes", The Germans "Tax Free Shop", Unifree of Turkey call it "Free Shop", the English speaking world say "Duty Free" and also "Tax Free", Spain says "Libre de Impuestos" and a mix of English and Spanish "Tienda Duty Free". In Portuguese speaking Brazil they rarely seem to say "Livres de Impostos" but often "Lojas Duty Free" or "lojas francas".


Arrivals are known in Spain as "llegadas" but in South America "arribos". In Switzerland it is "a la arrivee". In English it is "on arrival", "at arrival", "upon arrival"


Either way, "Duty Free llegada-chegada-a la arrivee" has arrived.
