Customs
Hong Kong is one of the world's most open customs regimes — it is a free port. Practically no import duty (exceptions: alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbons, cosmetics). There is no VAT. Customs clearance is therefore very fast. Shipments with a value above 400 HKD (~47 EUR) may be inspected but are not charged. Note: Hong Kong is part of China but maintains a separate customs system (independent WTO member).
