What can't I take back to the mainland when I go shopping in Hong Kong? What are the restrictions on what you can bring?

This is a very good question. When it comes to Hong Kong, everyone thinks of buying in buy buy, which is really a happy thing. However, it is necessary to know clearly the precautions for entering the market and clearing the warehouse in advance, otherwise it will be easy to suffer a big loss and not worth the candle. First of all, the duty-free limit of Hong Kong Customs is 5,000 yuan, which means that there is no need to pay tax within this limit, and the excess is subject to tax. Buy a brand-name bag worth tens of thousands, and the whole bag will be taxed at 20%! Of course, if you carry multiple copies of the same goods (such as 50 lipsticks and 30 boxes of masks), whether the total amount exceeds 5,000 yuan or not, the customs has the right to levy taxes or detain them. As we all know, 5000 yuan can't really be bought. An Apple mobile phone will overspend every minute, let alone buy other big products. At this time, I suggest "streaking" and unpack it and say it was before you. Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter to bring a mobile phone. Cosmetics and clothes are rarely inspected. Customs mainly inspects luxury goods and electronic products, milk powder and cigarettes. For foreign currency, the amount of foreign currency that can be brought into and out of the country can be divided into three situations: first, the amount of foreign currency brought into and out of the country on the same day 1 time or more is less than 500 dollars; Second, the amount of foreign currency brought into and out of the country within 15 days 1 times or more is less than 1000 USD; Third, the amount of foreign currency carried in the above situation is below $5,000. I believe many people and friends already know the stem of milk powder. Those who have reached the age of 16 can only carry 1.8kg (almost two cans of milk powder) of infant formula for 36 months and below. Otherwise, the maximum penalty is a fine of HK$ 500,000 and imprisonment for 2 years. Mainland residents under the age of 18 who travel to and from Hong Kong and Macao for personal reasons can carry 400 cigarettes, cigars 100 or 500 grams of cut tobacco, and alcoholic beverages with the degree of 12/0.5 liters (about 2 bottles). Few people usually know that it may be illegal to bring too much rice. Rice is a legal reserve commodity in Hong Kong, and it is illegal to carry more than 15KG of rice out of the country, but few people should do so ... 1. Animals (except dogs and cats), including all mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects and other invertebrates. 2 raw (or cooked) meat (including organs) and its products; Aquatic animal products; 3. Animal-derived milk and dairy products, including raw milk, fresh milk, yogurt, animal-derived cream, butter, cheese and other dairy products; 4 eggs and their products, including fresh eggs, preserved eggs, salted eggs, egg liquid, eggshells, mayonnaise and other egg derivatives; 1. Fresh fruits and vegetables; 2. Tobacco leaves (excluding cut tobacco); 3 seeds (seedlings), seedlings and other plant materials with reproductive capacity; 4. Organic culture medium; 1. Plant and animal pathogens, such as strains and viruses, pests and other harmful organisms, biological materials, such as cells, organs and tissues, blood and its products; 2. Animal carcasses, animal specimens and animal-derived wastes; 3. soil; 4. Genetically modified biological materials; 5. Other animals and plants, animal and plant products and other quarantine objects prohibited from entering the country by the state; It is worth noting that if frequent visitors leave or enter the country more than once within 15 days, the customs can only release their travel necessities, not in accordance with the above standards. I should have a say in bringing goods back from Hong Kong. My previous unit was in Hong Kong, and I went back to my unit for meetings 2-4 times a year, during which I also had to shop in Yau Tsim Mong, the city gate or Causeway Bay and Canton Road. Mainland customs are not allowed to enter the basic "pornography, drugs, publicity materials" and fresh, meat, eggs and plants! For other commodities, such as gold (cheaper than the mainland, newer in style), mobile phones (because of the exchange rate, the more expensive the better), the same watches, brand-name bags and so on. The difference in the middle can easily offset the price of your air ticket, hotel and restaurant to and from Hong Kong with an Omega watch! Hong Kong's services, discounts on new products, Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, various cuisines and multicultural integration ~ ~ ~ This is why more than N people linger in Hong Kong every year! I don't understand. Isn't Hongkong from China? Why do you need a passport and visa to go to Hong Kong, and you are not allowed to bring anything back? A country is not allowed to bring things? Is Hongkong from China or a foreign country? Is Hongkong really the territory of China? What do you think of these rules? They are all aimed at foreigners! Don't bother about animals and animal products, plants, etc. It is clearly listed in front of the customs, and then go after reading it. There is a lot of talk upstairs. Generally speaking, contraband is not allowed. Other electronic products are not duty-free depending on the customs mood, and cosmetics below 5,000 yuan for personal use can be brought. In fact, I have come back and forth dozens of times, and I have never been checked once. As long as you don't repeat too much in the box, it's ok. I went on June 5438+ 10. At that time, everyone could take two packs of cigarettes.
