Duty free Helsinki Oslo

[ausfox]

I am flying HKG HEL OSL.
I believe that the inbound to HEL is not duty free as well as when landing at OSL I am flying within Europe so no duty free status.
Question for those who know is can I buy duty free in HKG, then reboard with it in HEL? Thanks

I am not an expert but think the answer is no.

From ifly.com/eu-travel-rules

If you made liquid Duty Free & Tax Free purchases in a non-EU
country or on board a non-EU airline, they will be confiscated as soon
as you transfer at an EU airport.

Thanks JohnK, I carried a bottle of happy hour in my checked from Mel. The cost of any alcohol in the southern cities of Norway is 2-4 times AU. The taxes must be lower above the Arctic circle as prices are a bit lower. The ferry/cruise company from Bergen to Kerkines absolutely price gouges bordering on profiteering eg a small bottle of water cost the equivalent of AUD10. The scenery however is stunning.
