Do I have to pay taxes to buy a camera in Hong Kong?

Question 1: Do I have to pay taxes when I buy a camera in Hong Kong? The Hong Kong Customs stipulates that mainland tourists should take the initiative to declare and pay taxes when they buy electronic products of more than HK$ 5,000 in Hong Kong, but this provision is also a bluff. If you buy a camera for your own use and don't bring it with you (that is, you only have one camera when you go through customs), don't worry, it will be fine. You can just go through it. If you have a second camera, you can ask the store to help you.

If you want to buy a camera, go to Mong Kok. There are many electronic products in Xiyangcai Street. Don't go to Fengze and Bainaohui. Compared with the mainland, the price basically has no advantage. You can buy an original factory at most. But now Sony and Nikon are mostly produced in Vietnam or Cambodia, and there are not many products of origin. If you want to go to Xinhe Center or Xianda Plaza in Mong Kok cheaply, it is much cheaper than those two big stores. Hong Kong local electronic enthusiasts patronize these two places.

Question 2: I want to go to Hong Kong to buy a SLR camera. Can I go through customs like this? Cameras, with boxes or something, are bought at first sight, and they must be taxed, 20%.

So, if you are the only one, you can find someone close to you, give him the box, let him help you get it, and then give it to you after customs. You take your camera, unpack the parts and things, hide the invoices and things, and then you can swagger past.

The box hidden in the bag is unsafe and may be turned out. Don't treat people like idiots. You can't even see them. ...

Question 3: If you want to buy a SLR camera and a licensed SLR in Hong Kong (1), you must go to the four electrical chain stores of Fengze, Broadway, Zhongyuan Electric and Suning Laser. The first three are old brands, and Zhongyuan Electric has fewer branches than the first two. Another one is Yong Cheng/Wancheng, who started out selling cameras, so the salespeople's overall knowledge and introduction of cameras will be slightly better than the above four. The price is the same, but the difference is the gift. (2) If you only buy one, there is no big problem. Take more photos when traveling in Hong Kong. When buying or before returning to the mainland, throw away the packing box, put away most of the accessories and chargers, and put the camera in the camera bag for personal use at that time, which can reduce the chance of being inspected and questioned by customs officers. (3) It's hard to say, because there is great competition in the domestic market. Generally speaking, models that are not newly listed will not be much cheaper than those licensed in Hong Kong, but domestic parallel imports will be cheaper. However, the quality of digital products in Hong Kong is well known, and several major brands are guaranteed by the whole country, which reassured consumers and actually made some money on the exchange rate. Compared with the licensed prices in the two places, the new grade is less than 20% cheaper. (4) Several major brands are jointly guaranteed nationwide, ranging from 2 to 3 years. (5) 1. Ask what gift you have before buying. 2. Ask how much cheaper it would be if you bought it in cash. (Although it is not much, it is only about 100 yuan)

Question 4: Cameras bought in Hong Kong will be taxed if they are detained at Shenzhen Customs for more than 5K. He doesn't care if you use it for your own use (not to mention water passengers). When I bought my own mobile phone and ipad, I threw away the boxes and bags. You try this, you tell him, you tell him that you take the camera and accessories back to the seller's store to return them. If he agrees to take them back to return them, you can bring them back from another port (remember to throw away all the boxes, and take them with different people, preferably more than two people in the same trade). Try not to go to Luohu and Futian ports, especially Luohu, because there are many people because of the train, and now Hong Kong is cracking down on parallel passengers, and the inspection is stricter. Shenzhen Bay Port and China Port City are relatively less strict).

Question 5: Go to Hong Kong to buy a camera, go through customs, and you don't have to pay taxes. Just one department will do.

Question 6: Is it easy to find out when you go to Hong Kong to buy a SLR camera? I'm a photographer, and I often travel to and from two places. I have had similar questions before, and I have also asked some questions related to customs officers. The answers I got are generally for my own use, and a reasonable number is no problem. Of course, these are all controlled by customs officers. When you go to buy a camera, you'd better unpack it, try it out, and take some portraits and scenery in Hong Kong to take home. Just make it clear that it is for your own use when you come to Hong Kong for random inspection. Generally speaking, cameras with lenses are basically unattended. If it is old, you can have more. General photography activities are two cameras and four lenses. People ignored me when I announced it. Legally speaking, the individual's single tax exemption amount is about 7 thousand yuan for personal use. However, in practice, it is much more relaxed. Do you think that an Apple mobile phone costs five or six thousand now? According to this standard, everyone has to file tax returns. Don't worry, just handle it normally.

Question 7: Go to Hong Kong tomorrow to buy a 5000-odd SLR camera. Do I have to pay taxes when I go through customs? Where can I buy a camera for 5000 yuan? How much cheaper can it be? You have to throw away the package and pretend it's for your own use. There is no free warranty when you buy it back. Why bother?

If you pay taxes through customs, it will be more expensive than buying them in the mainland.

Question 8: If I buy a camera in Hong Kong and bring it into the customs, will I throw it away? I'm sure it's no problem If the packing is here, I'll see if the inspection is strict. I brought the lens and the package back from Hong Kong, and I didn't check it.

Question 9: Will I be taxed if I go to Hong Kong to buy a SLR lens (more than 10,000 yuan) and return to the airport? If you only buy one, open the package and hang it on your body, no one cares about you. If you don't declare, you won't ask. There are really too many infantry.

Question 10: Can I take my SLR to Hong Kong to take photos? There is no problem for the mainland to enter Hong Kong. It is more dangerous for Hong Kong to enter the Mainland. The purchase limit of sub-products stipulated in the entry and exit regulations is 5000 yuan, and SLR usually exceeds this limit. However, many merchants provide mail service. You can take the machine through the customs and ask him to mail it to the customs or send it home for you. It's no problem to get through this,
