Dufry Customer Warranty Policy
Dufry always aims to reach the best solution to satisfy our customers. Thus, Dufry will provide refunds or exchanges as detailed below.
All returns and exchanges will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to provide personalized customer service and do what is best for the customer.
Customs allowances are different according to the legislation of each country. It is customer's responsibility to be aware of such limits and restrictions. It is possible to consult Customs Allowances here. Dufry is not responsible for any confiscated products, due to non-compliance with current Customs allowance legislation of the destination or connection country.
PLEASE NOTE: Proof of purchase (sales receipt or, in certain cases, credit card billing) must be presented in all cases, and in-person refunds or exchanges must be made in the same type of store (e.g. Dufry, World Duty Free, Nuance, Hudson) and country of purchase.
All returns and exchanges are subject to applicable local law.
Types of Claim
Customers may make claims because the purchased product is defective or because they have changed their mind and they want to exchange or return a non-defective product.

Dufry companies will provide a refund or exchange of products purchased in our stores, provided the product is in the same condition as when sold (has not been used, is in its original packaging including the original seal (where applicable), and is accompanied by all original accessories, including leaflets, instructions for use and guarantees).

Dufry is not responsible for shipping costs, or any bank fees charged by the customer's bank that may apply in connection with refunds or exchanges of non-defective products.
