On August 26, the highly anticipated first duty-free shop in Guangzhou officially opened, with the innovative "duty-free + taxable" dual-track model covering core categories such as cosmetics, luggage, jewelry, and high-end spirits, achieving a consumption closed-loop service of "shopping in the city, picking up at the airport." The duty-free shop is located on the first floor of Guangzhou Friendship Department Store in Tianhe District, at the core international financial center of CBD. The duty-free shop in the city breaks through the traditional duty-free shopping restrictions, carefully creating a full-category shopping experience of "duty-free + taxable" and "import + domestic", where consumers can easily shop in the taxable area without providing departure certificates, and overseas consumers can also enjoy the "buy-now-refund-now" departure tax refund service.
