Did it in 2000 into HKG and TPE on one of our 747 freighters and didn't have any problems in or out. They checked me through as a regular passenger and picked me up at a gate for the ride to the cargo area with a badged employee. The only problem on the whole trip was going back into NRT; the Japanese didn't want to let me back in because I was on an US registered aircraft with an American operating crew in uniform, and I was the lone Brit traveling on a UK passport and in civvies. My Captain had to put his cap back on and inform the immigration people that I was one of his crew, and that I would be going ashore with the rest of his crew - and I did. I would imagine that nowadays with all the security it might be a tad more complicated.
