You can enjoy Duty Free shopping onboard our Channel ferries and Amsterdam-Newcastle route as well as in our Calais and Dunkerque port shops, but what does Duty Free mean? It refers to a shopping concept where goods are sold without the inclusion of local taxes and duties. This means that travellers can purchase products at lower prices than they would normally find in high street retail stores.

After Brexit, the duty-free allowance for travellers entering the UK has changed. When travelling back into the UK, the new allowance have increased the amount of goods you’re allowed to bring with you. The new wine Duty Free allowance is up to 18 litres, and beer is 42 litres. You can also bring up to £390 worth of non-alcoholic goods back into the UK and 200 cigarettes or 250g of tobacco. The Duty Free spirit allowance is now up to 4 litres of strong liquor.
