Shipping delays cause duty-free goods shortage in Labuan

LABUAN: Shipping delays are said to have caused a shortage of duty-free goods, mostly a wide variety of imported chocolates, on this duty-free island.

Shelves at duty-free stores across the island are wiped clean of goods, and are staying empty for nearly a month now, as the stores are struggling to quickly restock them everyday, much to the dismay of local consumers and travellers.
