    Import tariff free for shipping laptop from USA to HK?

    Hi, all

    Does anyone has the experience with shipping a laptop from USA to HK?
    Does the HK custom charge the import duty for this kind of personal shipping ?

    I have a friend in HK, and he want me to buy one new laptop for him then shipping it to him.

    But I don't know if this laptop would be charged tariff or not when it is shipped from USA.

    Need your help.

    Thanks a lot!

    There are no import tariffs on anything in Hong Kong except alcohol, tobacco & oil products. So no problem at all bringing a laptop.

    Most if not all laptops have the 100-240 range. We don't have problems with power supply for laptops or computers brought from the US, just plug in a plug adaptor & it's good to go.
