Answer:
Duty free means you are not paying local tax or import tax on the chocolate you bought.
Explanation:
Duty free is a term used in international trade to denote waiving of tax on items that a traveler bought from a host country and taking it along to his/her country of residence. Shop or retail outlet where these goods are sold is called duty-free shop. The intention of government on waiving tax on these goods is to encourage traveler or tourist to try out this goods in their resident country and thereby promoting the usage of those goods at their respective countries.
Though these goods are excepted from tax by the host country where they bought, the goods can still be subjected to tax by the custom officials of the resident country.
For example: in the case of the chocolate, if your resident country is United States of America (USA), those chocolate you bought duty-free at London Heathrow Airport has to be declared to the custom officials and subject to appropriate tax and exception on your entry back to USA. So, duty-free is a privilege that a traveler enjoys from the host country by waiving of tax on goods bought with the intention of consuming them in his/her resident country.
