None.
Restricted (15)
Reasons:
- Alcohol: travellers 18 or older may bring 1L of liquor over 30% ABV duty-free; alcohol at 30% or less isn't taxed (15)Why: Hong Kong Customs: travellers aged 18 or above may bring 1 litre of alcoholic liquor above 30% ABV (at 20°C) duty-free for personal use; Hong Kong ID card holders must have been outside Hong Kong for 24 hours or more. Hong Kong only taxes liquor above 30% ABV, so sake and other drinks at 30% or less aren't dutiable.
