Face Masks
I was informed by a Hong Kong resident that it is illegal to import face masks into Hong Kong. I had intended to courier some to a friend but they advised against it saying they would be confiscated, and that I should not declare them in baggage on arrival into Hong Kong airport for the same reason.
My immediate reaction was that someone in Exco must have the licence to import them and doesn't want their nice little earner to be grey-marketed. Or is it that the emergency legislation that was put in during the street protests is still on the statute books?
Is my informant correct?
