So I get the 1litre duty free allowance into HK for >30% ABV, but since I've bought some alcohol in the UK (at Asda) and they are all labelled duty paid in the UK, do they come under the same restriction?
I'm assuming yes, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer really.
Also there are regulations that say 5litres per person travelling internationally although the individual country restrictions might reduce this.

and when HK customs says:
Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department - Types and Duty Rates
100% duty on the value, does that mean for example that a 40% ABV bottle of vodka bought for 20GBP with duty paid of 11.50 GBP is going to cost me another 20 GBP or another 11.50GBP?
In which case I might just leave it all here and treat my mother to an early Christmas present!
I'm intending to walk through the red channel anyway because I know they can be ruthless, but knowing in advance how much this is going to cost would help a lot.
Many thanks for any insights.
