2. The import and export of ivory raw materials or products in Hong Kong are strictly controlled by law. Regardless of the value of ivory products in Hong Kong, tourists must apply for an import license from the mainland and apply for an export license in Hong Kong.

3. Hong Kong is a free financial market, so there are no restrictions on tourists bringing any form of currency in and out of the country. However, please note that this is only applicable to Hong Kong Customs. Tourists have strict regulations when entering and exiting other customs in China or going to customs in other countries. Please be sure to inquire about relevant matters in advance. Passengers can bring mechanical cameras, televisions and other large electrical appliances and film and television equipment into and out of Hong Kong. However, when entering or leaving the mainland of China, you need to go through registration and tax payment procedures in accordance with the relevant laws of the mainland.

How to go through customs

When tourists or service personnel from the mainland arrive in Hong Kong, they must first go through immigration formalities. Entrants must bring their passport, pass and a Hong Kong SAR Immigration Department Passenger Arrival Application Form.

The application form is placed in many conspicuous places in front of the customs, and can also be obtained directly from the customs officers. If you come to Hong Kong by plane or train, the service lady will proactively distribute an entry application form to each passenger during the trip. There are also people who specially distribute them on ships or direct buses.

When passing through customs, Hong Kong residents and foreign tourists pass through different channels. There are usually eye-catching signs at the immigration points to indicate the correct channel. Please follow the relevant instructions when crossing the border. Exit procedures are basically similar to entry procedures. You only need to hold your valid documents and completed exit registration card and queue up to go through the exit procedures. There are also obvious signs at each checkpoint indicating the exit channels for people holding different documents. Please check carefully and choose the correct exit channel. Hong Kong Airport, Kowloon Railway Station, Sheung Wan Pier, China Hong Kong City Pier, etc. all have entry and exit gates. Entry and exit checkpoints have also been opened at Luohu, Huanggang, Manjindu and other places at the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

Please note that those who arrive in Shenzhen and enter Hong Kong by themselves must pay attention to the closing times of each border crossing. Generally speaking, individuals cross the border on their own, mostly through Luohu Checkpoint, which handles entry and exit procedures between 6:30-0:00. Those with vehicles can enter through the Man Kam To Checkpoint. There are fewer people entering here and the procedures are faster. The processing time is from 7:00 to 22:00.

How to exchange Hong Kong dollars

On the streets of Hong Kong, you can see exchange shops with "Exchange RMB" signs everywhere, especially those in the Sheung Wan area with higher exchange rates. But since it is a small street shop, exchangers should be careful to prevent counterfeit money.

With the increasing number of people from the mainland visiting Hong Kong in recent years, many shops, especially some gold shops, welcome the use of RMB for shopping. Some gold shops also provide RMB exchange services, but the exchange rate is mostly negotiable. When exchanging Hong Kong dollars, pay attention to the exchange rates of various currencies on the day, especially the parts with "SELL" and "BUY" written above.
