			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Duty-free Concessions for Incoming Passengers</strong> </em>currently practiced by Hong Kong Customs</p>
<p>The duty-free concessions granted to a passenger are as follows:</p>
<p>(i)    1 litre of alcoholic liquor with an alcoholic strength above 30% by volume measured at a temperature of 20oC; and<br />
(ii)    60 cigarettes or 15 cigars or 75 grams of other manufactured tobacco.<br />
To qualify for duty-free concessions, a passenger aged 18 or above is allowed to bring into Hong Kong the above goods free of duty for his/her own use. If the passenger holds a Hong Kong Identity Card, he must have spent 24 hours or longer outside Hong Kong.</p>
<p><strong>Verification measure</strong></p>
<p>To verify a passenger&#8217;s eligibility for the duty-free concessions, Customs officers may require an incoming passenger to produce his/her Hong Kong Identity Card in order to verify whether he/she has spent 24 hours or longer outside Hong Kong.</p>
<p><strong>Attention</strong></p>
<p>An incoming passenger, who fails to declare or makes a false or incomplete declaration to a Customs officer on the quantity of dutiable goods in his/her possession which are in excess of the duty-free concessions, is liable to prosecution.</p>
