Consumer NZ has laid a complaint with the Commerce Commission about duty-free shops.
It has conducted an investigation into pricing, which found that in many cases, shoppers were better off buying from a standard shop than a duty-free outlet.
Of 33 items price-checked, it found New Zealand duty-free stores only had the cheapest price 10 times. Five of those were cosmetics, three were alcohol and two electronics. The rest of the time, standard retail prices were cheaper.
A bottle of Brancott Estate sauvignon blanc wine was selling for $21 duty-free, Consumer NZ said, or $10.99 at Countdown.
