Istanbul (IST) duty-free questions
How can I get something from Istanbul Airport duty-free brought home?
Through Smuggl. A Smugglbear in your own network who is already flying from Istanbul buys the item from Unifree Duty Free and hands it to you in person. Your payment is charged in full when you place the order and held until you confirm the handoff.
Who would buy my Istanbul duty-free order?
Only people in your own network: direct contacts and friends-of-friends, never strangers. Every Smugglbear is identity-verified with a passport or equivalent document before they can publish a trip.
Will the item still be duty-free when it reaches me?
"Duty-free" describes where the item is sourced from, not a guarantee that it is exempt from import duty at home. Whether duty applies depends on your country's allowance for the traveller carrying it.
