Luxury retail in Malaysia, in recent years has in fact been growing rapidly, for the country is known to have some of the most competitive prices for luxury goods.

‘Free duty’ products in Malaysia include various high end products like wrist watches, fragrances, cosmetics, gadgets like cameras and computers, gold and jewelry, sports equipment, leather shoes and bags, apparel, most of which are produced by well-known global high-end brands.
