Free-port trading and vaulting hub and main gateway to the Mainland. No duty, VAT or licence on gold (Cap. 109 s.3; gold not listed in Cap. 60A Schs. 1-2); only an import/export declaration within 14 days after the movement (Cap. 60E regs 4-5), free of charge for gold bars of 995.0 fineness or more (reg. 8(4)). Dealers must register with Customs under AMLO Part 5C (since 1 Apr 2023): Category A for non-cash and Category B (CDD, 5-year records) for cash transactions of HK$120,000 or more. Gold is outside the CBNI declaration (Cap. 629 s.2). Exchange trading of gold is limited by Cap. 82 to an exchange operating before 20 Jun 1973 (HKGX, ex-CGSE) and futures markets; a government-owned central clearing system for about-400-oz bars started trial on 7 July 2026 with Shanghai Gold Exchange Delivery Connect. Onward gold to the Mainland needs a PBOC per-batch permit held by the Mainland importer (PBOC/GACC Order [2015] No. 1, Arts. 3, 17).

Receive gold into Hong Kong and declare the import

ينطبق عندما: Hong Kong receives bars or doré from an origin or another hub

  1. العناية الواجبة

    Onboard the supplier: KYC and source-of-supply review. Hong Kong law makes CDD mandatory for a Category B registrant only for specified cash transactions (AMLO s.5A(5A)); for bank-paid purchases the pack is the importer's own risk choice, with LBMA/OECD guidance applying where the buyer or refiner is bound by it

    من

    الأساس القانوني: AMLO s. 5A and Sch. 2 (only for specified cash transactions), s. 5A(5A)-(5B)

    ملاحظة الباحث: [inferred] No Hong Kong rule found that requires origin documents for imported gold; the KYC pack is commercial practice outside cash transactions. The legal scope of CDD is read in the Ordinance.

  2. النقل

    Fly the consignment into HKIA and deliver it to the importer's vault. If it is transhipment cargo (consigned on a through bill of lading or through air waybill to a place outside Hong Kong) or transit cargo, no Hong Kong declaration is required and the gold never enters the Hong Kong market

  4. الجمارك

    Lodge the import declaration within 14 days after the day of importation using the specified system (Trade Single Window, or during the transition a government-appointed service provider). Gold bars of fineness 995.0 or above (HKHS 7108 1210, 7108 2010) go on Form 1B with no declaration charge; other gold pays the charge. No customs duty or VAT; gold is not an exempted article

"CBNI" means notes or coins that are legal tender and bearer-type negotiable instruments (s.2); gold is not in the definition, and C&ED says so expressly ("Diamonds, gold or casino tokens are neither currencies nor bearer negotiable instruments"), so Hong Kong has no cross-boundary declaration specific to precious metals.

  • No new commodity exchange may be established or operated for gold, silver or the other listed commodities (Cap. 82 s.4 and Schedule items 6, 13; fine HK$500,000 plus HK$50,000 a day), except an exchange "which was in operation on 20 June 1973" (s.3(d)) or a recognized futures market under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (s.3(e)). Exchange trading of physical gold in Hong Kong is therefore confined to a pre-1973 exchange (the Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society, now HKGX) and recognized futures markets; OTC dealing between dealers is not an exchange.

Whether bilateral OTC dealing could be a "commodity exchange" (a market "at or through which persons regularly offer commodities for sale", s.2) is not settled by any text held.

  • Anyone who by way of business trades in, imports, exports, manufactures, refines or carries out value-adding work on precious metals (gold "in a manufactured or unmanufactured state"), issues or trades precious-asset-backed instruments, or acts as intermediary (s.53ZU(1)) must be registered before carrying out a specified transaction (non-cash payments of HK$120,000 or more, single or linked) - Category A or B - and must be a Category B registrant to carry out a specified cash transaction (cash of HK$120,000 or more) (s.53ZUE(1)-(2)). A logistics business that only imports or exports in the ordinary course is not a dealer (s.53ZU(2)); Part 5C does not apply to the Government, authorised institutions, licensed pawnbrokers and some ancillary financial businesses (s.53ZUA(1)). Offence: fine at level 6 and 6 months (s.53ZUE(5)); C&ED gives the fine as HK$100,000.

  • A Legislative Council question of May 2026 refers to "the current 50-gram limit" on gold products for personal use carried by Mainland visitors, and asks about "simplifying the tax collection process for amounts exceeding the limit"; the limit is a Mainland rule. The Government replied only that Hong Kong "does not impose any customs duty or import/export control on passengers bringing gold products into/out of Hong Kong". Under the Mainland Measures, rules for individuals carrying gold across the border are made by PBOC with GACC (Art. 4 para. 3).

  • Gold entering the Mainland from Hong Kong under general trade needs a PBOC Gold and Gold Products Import/Export Permit presented to customs (Art. 3), issued only to qualified importers (Art. 8, e.g. financial-institution members or market makers of the State Council-approved gold exchange); "one batch, one permit", used within 40 working days of issue (Art. 17); imported gold must be registered on the State Council-approved spot exchange and first traded there (Art. 6). PBOC may restrict import and export quantities (Art. 3 para. 2). Processing trade, movements between special customs supervision areas or bonded sites and abroad, between such areas, and repair, return or temporary movements are exempt from the permit (Art. 20), but gold moving between such areas and the domestic market, or processing-trade gold diverted to domestic sale, needs one (Art. 4).

Licences are needed only for articles listed in the regulations under Cap. 60 (s.6C: Cap. 60A Sch. 1; s.6D: Cap. 60A Sch. 2; s.6A: strategic commodities), and gold is not listed in Cap. 60A Schedules 1-2. The only customs formality is the import/export declaration lodged within 14 days after the movement (Cap. 60E regs 4-5); transhipment cargo on a through bill of lading or through air waybill is exempt even from that (reg. 3(a); Cap. 60 s.2).

حيث تخالف الممارسة القانون

ما تُظهر المصادر الموثوقة حدوثه دون أن ينص عليه القانون.

  • Hong Kong law checks neither the origin of imported gold nor any export authorisation from the origin country: no licence applies (Cap. 60 ss.6C-6D, Cap. 60A Schs. 1-2), the import declaration is lodged up to 14 days after arrival (Cap. 60E reg. 4(2)), and CDD is mandatory only for Category B cash transactions (AMLO s.5A(5A)). The declared "origin country" is whatever the declarant states, and for gold bars no declaration charge is payable, so there is no fiscal check either. Origin screening happens, if at all, in the buyer's or refiner's own due diligence.
