Hermes in the DUTY FREE, airport list!

[QuelleFromage]

it's depends on whether the shop is located before or after the immigration, because within the continental Europe there's usually no passport control, once after the passport control, the prices at the duty free shop usually is detaxed, the one before passport control will be normal city price, then they can offer you a detax form if you live outside EU, it's the same ritual as if you buy from the city.

Yes, you only avoid duty if you are leaving the place, whether a country or economic union, where the tax applies - pretty normal. I hold US and one other non-EU passport and I can't detaxe until my last stop in the EU for same reason.
More on topic, also worth noting that some US states (California and I think NY as well, probably others) will levy use tax on items bought in duty-free shops when those items are brought back to the States. This tax is the same as state sales tax.

Hmm.. I'm curious how they enforce this. I'll be flying from California to Canada and then from Canada to New York. Am I just expected to declare the goods when I bring them home? I wonder if they'd flag my passport for customs inspection... Anyone with experience?

Are you passing through Canada or staying in Canada for a few days?

I still think you'd pay US duties because ultimately you'll be importing the bag into the US, but not sure how canada will handle that if you are more than transferring through Canada. They might flag your passport to ensure that you don't leave any goods in Canada.

I'm an American and live in NY. I'll be vacationing in Canada for a week before returning home.

For purchases to qualify as duty free doesn't they have to stay in Canada? Like as a gift? I wasn't planning on buying a bag (slim chance they'd have any H bags at the airport boutique, no?) just scarves, maybe jewelry.

You are permitted to import into the US $800 or less on your travels. Anything above $800 is supposed to be declared and duties paid.

Thanks for the info. I may just aim for a couple of fall silks then.

Enjoy your trip! I would suggest buying H at the airport, if you can. Canadian tax outside duty free can be high - if you are headed to Toronto, tax is 13%!

CDG Terminal 2E has a fair bit of inventory (I'll post in inventory thread too):
More than one CDC - there is an orange GHW in small on display and they told me more were in back, but all this year's run which does not fit me, so I am out of luck
LOTS of bracelets, many enamels and a ton of KDTs and Rivales, drawers full, including many colours - malachite, RC, anemone, etc etc
Quite a few Jypsieres, including black and etain
Black and I think ebene (?) leather GPs
Black So Kelly
A couple Evelynes
Beach bags

I wasn't looking for anything else so didn't ask about Lindys etc. but not too shabby. I didn't buy as I already pillaged the in-town stores and I think the prices are the same-ish after detaxe.

QF - Thanks for the report on CdG. I'll be passing by there in early October and hopefully get a chance to check the store. I didn't know that they make leather GPs in Ebene anymore. Would be great to find one. I hope they have TPM leather GPs or a lindy there. Not have to worry about detax if shop there. I'll be stopping by Amsterdam and Hamburg as well so may hold off on my purchases.

Anyone passing by CdG this week ? Wondering what their stock is like ? I'm heading there in 2 weeks and hoping to find a nice GP in TPM size. TIA.

Hi every body. I flying to Rome Tomorrow, Do u know if there is H store at the airport? Thx so much in advance.

 

[Chi town Chanel]

I just wanted to report (if someone hasn't already done so) that the H boutique in the Athens airport has been closed.

 

[Chi town Chanel]

In Rome, the Leonardo da Vinci airport has two H boutiques.

There is a small H boutique located in Terminal 3 at the boarding area for the G gates. It is near gates G 11 and G 12.

There is a second H boutique in this airport located in Terminal 1. It's supposed to be in T1 departures on the Mezzanine floor, but I didn't visit it or even see it.

While I was there last week, there wasn't a lot of inventory. I didn't notice any bags. They had various women's shoes including several colors of oran. There were scarves, slg, bracelets, ties for men, and some other stuff. I was in a rush so I didn't take much time to explore.

Here is a map for the Terminal 3, G gates for reference:
