However, only purchases from shops authorised by the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) are entitled for the refund. In addition the tourist has to carry the purchased goods as hand baggage, unless they are oversized or required to be checked-in by the airline. The MCCI Refund counter also offers a service whereby goods meant for hand luggage can be delivered Duty Free and VAT free prior to the departure of the tourist from Mauritius.
