Cant help on this one as its not something I was looking for. Generally though you are asked at duty free and are advised if its going to be a problem with your destination?

DXB itself is fine with liquids if they are in STEB bags. However, Australia-specific requirements are different.

No customs duty to pay on import

Consumption tax and markup on the other hand.........
