Hong Kong is a duty-free port, meaning that you can bring almost anything in or out of the SAR (except for the usual prohibitions on illegal drugs, guns, explosives, etc).  For example, you can bring in (or out) an unlimited amount of currency. As a free port, HK does not levy any Customs tariff on imports, nor do they set any tariff quota or surcharge.  Similarly, HK doesn’t charge a value added or general services taxes. Excise duties are levied only on these four types of dutiable commodities: • Tobacco (allowed one pack or 25 grams of tobacco) • Liquor (1 liter allowed) • Hydrocarbon Oil • Methyl alcohol
