Duty free is available from Sealanes in Port Hedland but it is limited and most time is ordered in for customers.You would be better served to buy your duty free in Perth or indeed in Bali after you have passed through immigration there. In any case there would not be enough time to get into Port and back before the flight departs. It is most pleasing that there is a take up of the Skywest packages from Perth as that is the same cost as it is from Hedland. You may not realise it but everytime good folk like yourselves fly with Skywest you not only support Bali but also help to retain a service to there out of the northwest. And that is something that the "BIG' airlines have ignored and rejoice in the fact that it costs us folk up here another $1200 in airfares alone to fly out of Perth, only to fly directly over Hedland on the outbound and inbound legs. If you purchase your duty free in Perth you will have to declare it at Port Hedland just the same as you would if you were departing from Perth Airport. From us in the northwest, a sincere thanks to all of you who support Skywest and in doing so, support us too.
