Is shopping in Guam tax-free?
Guam does not have a general consumer sales tax, and as a duty-free port, imported goods such as cosmetics, alcohol, tobacco, and luxury brands are sold significantly cheaper than in Japan or South Korea. This makes Guam one of the most cost-effective shopping destinations in the Pacific for Asian visitors.

Top buys in Guam include duty-free luxury cosmetics and fragrances (up to 40% cheaper than Japan), Guam-branded souvenirs, CHamoru handicrafts (woven goods, woodwork, coconut products), hot sauces and local food items, and US sports/outdoor brands at Guam Premium Outlets.
How much can I save shopping duty-free in Guam versus Japan or Korea?
Savings depend on the category. Luxury cosmetics and fragrances are typically 30–45% cheaper in Guam than in Japan or South Korea, thanks to the combination of no import duty and no consumption tax. US sports and outdoor brands at Guam Premium Outlets sell 20–40% below full Japanese retail. The savings are most pronounced on Japanese cosmetic brands (such as Shiseido) sold duty-free through DFS, and on alcohol and tobacco.
