The amount of duty free goods you are allowed to bring into Bali are as follows: 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 100 grams of tobacco / 1 liter of alcoholic beverage.
The 1 liter can be either wine or liquor, they don’t make exceptions because its weaker. If you do attempt to bring in more and the Customs find it, they will either confiscate the extra, or ask for a ‘surcharge’ so you can keep it.
Denpasar airport has a Duty Free Shop at International Departures, selling a range of the usual stuff you’ll find worldwide, including liquor, fragrances and cigarettes. DFS have duty free shopping outlets in Kuta, Sanur, Nusa Dua and the airport in Bali
If you are staying in Bali and want cheap liquor, wine, cigarettes, then my advice is to get on the Bypass and head towards Sanur. About 100 meters BEFORE Macro supermarket, is an unmarked place with a green door, on the left side of the highway. Its open Mon-Fri 9-5pm, or thereabouts. Knock down prices, as good as Duty Free.
Selamat minum!

Hey Nick, I’ve been tuned into baliblog for awhile now and just relocated to Bali. How do I contact you here in Bali to meet and talk about Bali?
Nick,
Any green door in Malaysia or Singapore usually leads to a madrasah (religious school) or a side entrance to a mosque. Definitely no selamat minum.

I found the Duty-Free in Denpasar airport to be much more expensive then in the grocery stores in Kuta. I didn’t buy any Bintang to bring home and decided to get some from the duty free. I paid 3 us dollars per can. I could get a large bottle for 1.60 in a grocery store. Duty free does not mean lowest price as I was naive.
Duty free in Bali is a bit of a joke. You can pretty much buy anything you want somewhere else alot cheaper.
