Is this duplicate content?

Two sites on different domains

Hi,
I was recently browsing an Australian company site/shop at example.com but as I'm in the UK I noticed it redirects me to a .co.uk version example.co.uk which looks to be entirely the same barring the url. As I run a shop that also serves customers around the world I was wondering if this is a legit way of localising a shop or whether this is something that is duplicate content and that would be a problem for search engines?
Thanks

It is perfectly legit and is not considered duplicate content - assuming that the meta data is following Google's guidelines for regionally localized copies: [developers.google.com...]

I agree it is also possible that the company divided the store management into subsections to make it easier to manage each separately. I often met with this, a typical policy for many companies.It is better to make different languages, so then the content will not be duplicated, and the site will be promoted under different keys, in different languages.
