Houston Bayport

This international port primarily handles cruise ships. Most, if not all cruise ships, sail in international territorial waters, so you will be able to buy duty free and tax-free goods onboard during your journey.

Some cruise lines only allow you to consume your duty free alcohol after you have finished your cruise. Check with your cruise specialist before you sail, for more details.


Many Cruise and Ferry Port retailers are yet to publish their on-line duty free catalogues, prices and store locations. As soon as the online duty free pre-order information is available, we will update this page.


The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) will shortly introduce personal import taxes on the purchase of liquor and cigarettes bought in a cruise ship's duty free store, or in an overseas duty free store. Passengers will be obliged to declare their goods, on arrival in port and pay the relevant taxes.
