Best Duty Free Qld?

[Rallo]

Just wondering if the Queensland cruisers can recommend the best places to buy electronic gear duty free in or around Brisbane. Did anyone do the TRS thing? Can you even do the TRS thing out of Brisbane? I want to buy a video camera to take on my cruise and was wondering what was the best way to go. Any help would really be appreciated.:)

Yes, you can do the TRS out of Brisbane, they have people out at Pinkenba on emabarkation - and if you do this you can buy you video camera from wherever you want and claim the GST back at the port via TRS, you don't need to go to a duty free shop.

 

Can't help you with the best duty free shopping if you want to do it that way - the only Duty Free Shopping I've done in Brisbane is at Downtown Duty Free at the International Airport when I've been leaving/arriving by plane - which doesn't really help for cruising! Since you live on the coast maybe you could try some of the shops down there?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I would be in the market for a new laptop about the time we cruise. This could come in handy! Is there a limit to the TRS?

Pretty sure there is no limit. Only a $300 minimum. It was really easy to do. we bought a pda from an internet site, and then claimed the GST back when we boarded at Brisbane.

Could be wrong but I think you have to buy it no more than 30 days before travelling.
