Duty-Free Shopping in Grand Cayman

Cayman is famous for its tax free shopping including: jewellery, watches, luxury brands, gems, precious metals and more. You will find recommendations on where to purchase these items below, as well as where to locate the best gifts and other essentials. Although import duty is charged on most goods entering the country, certain luxury goods remain free of both import duty and sales tax. Such items can therefore work out considerably cheaper to purchase in Cayman than in North America or Europe.
