Inquiries by letter
Hello Mr. Wu! My fiancée and I wanted to choose gold jewelry for marriage in Hong Kong, so we checked it on the Internet and found that the customs has recently investigated a lot of cases of excessive ** entering the country, so I want to know more about the relevant laws and regulations. Some netizens said that those that can be brought into the country within 50 grams will not be allowed to exceed it. My question is: you can bring less than 50 grams of ** jewelry into the country, but will the customs pay taxes?
Smuggling criminal defense lawyer Wu Guoxiong Shenzhen:
1. The Announcement of the General Administration of Customs on Strengthening the Administration of Imported Gold, Silver and Products stipulates that passengers bring in ** and its productsIt should be limited to a reasonable amount for personal use。When entering the country, it should be declared to the customsTax-free release upon approval of the customs。Products exceeding the reasonable quantity for self-use shall be regarded as imported goods, and the customs shall levy and release them with the approval of the head office of the People's Bank of China.
2. What is the above "reasonable amount"? Referring to the "Notice of the General Administration of Customs on Issues Concerning the Inspection and Release of Passengers Carrying ** Jewelry for Personal Use on the Journey", it should be 50 grams.
3. To sum up, the entry of ** jewelry should be declared to the customs, and no more than 50 grams can be recognized as a reasonable quantity, and the customs will be released duty-free.
