Duty-free
Tobacco and Alcoholic Beverage Allowances
71.
Currently,
the duty-free quantities of tobacco and liquor that
local residents are allowed to bring in when
entering Hong Kong
are not the same as for visitors. I propose to
align them. I propose to raise the duty-free
quantity of alcoholic beverages that Hong Kong
residents may bring back from the current 750
millilitres of still wine to one litre and to apply
this to all liquors. I propose, on the other
hand, to reduce the quantity of duty-free tobacco
that visitors are allowed to bring into Hong Kong
to that for local residents. For example, the
quantity of duty-free cigarettes for a visitor would
be reduced from the current ten packets to three.
These proposals will take effect after the relevant
subsidiary legislation has been passed.
