Local Confectionery and Gourmet Food

Local gourmet foods at arrival duty-free offer genuine value unavailable elsewhere: Swiss Lindt chocolate at Zurich, Meiji Kit Kats at Tokyo Narita, Belgian pralines at Brussels Zaventem, Scottish shortbread at Edinburgh. These items are not just duty-free — they are often exclusive regional varieties unavailable outside their home country, and they typically cost 15–25% less than the cheapest online import alternative. For example, a 1kg box of Belgian pralines at Brussels is 40% cheaper than the same brand's export version sold in US duty-free shops.
