​	​ Duty-free purchases Duty-free shoppers can rest assured that they can still buy duty-free items at the airport but must be mindful of the fact that the transfer and termination regulations pertaining to duty-free LAGs purchases differ globally. Passengers are thus encouraged to contact the airline they will be travelling with well in advance to establish the latest duty-free LAGs regulations in effect in the country they will be transferring through, and ultimately terminating their journey in. Airports Company South Africa continues to work closely with the South African Civil Aviation Authority in this regard whilst duty-free sales staff remain ready in-store to assist passengers. Duty-free shoppers are reminded that their LAGs purchases must be kept sealed in the special plastic bag, given at the point of purchase, until they reach their final destination.

Airports Company South Africa urges travellers to allow for the new rules in the pre-travel stages of their trips and to allow extra time at departure for any possible delays that might be caused by the new security checks. It is recommended that international travellers arrive at the airport at least three hours prior to their departure time. Airports Company South Africa is aware that initial delays will be inevitable, but in the interests of security these measures are both necessary and part of a global roll-out.
