China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

Arrivals at specified control points carrying currency and bearer negotiable instruments (CBNIs) totalling more than HKD 120,000 must declare at the red channel. Other arrivals and persons about to depart must disclose when required by Customs and declare if above the threshold. An accompanying adult who knows that an under-16 has such CBNIs must declare/disclose for the child. Airside transit passengers without immigration clearance are exempt. Travellers may pre-fill an e-form and present its QR code, or use a paper form. Foreign-currency valuation follows the Customs page exchange-rate rules; amounts on the form are recorded in the original currency. First-time HKD 2,000 settlement is conditional on no prior money-laundering/terror-financing conviction and no reasonable suspicion the funds are criminal proceeds or terrorist property; it is not automatic.

Incoming passengers aged 18+ may bring for personal use 1 litre of liquor above 30% ABV, and 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 g cigars or 25 g other manufactured tobacco. Hong Kong Identity Card holders must have spent at least 24 hours outside Hong Kong to qualify for the liquor concession. Cross-boundary drivers are not entitled to these concessions. Commercial dutiable goods have no traveller concession: use the red channel, declare the purpose and lodge the required import declaration. Dutiable goods exceeding the concession must be declared; prohibited/controlled goods remain governed separately.
