Anything bought in Duty Free is only duty free where it was purchased. IF you purchase duty free in the States and bring it to Aruba, they can tax it.

The same applies to anything duty free you purchase on Aruba. The value counts towards your $800.00 personal exemption when passing through US Customs.
