It varies from country to country. For example, for the UK the passenger must be over 17, in Australia the passenger must be over 18 and it's only for the over 21s going to Tonga.

Actually, the law is a field where one cannot rely on common sense. Does anyone who responded know the law specific to Hong Kong? The law in the export country would also be relevant, of course, unless the item is bought in the duty-free area.
There are a lot of "common sense" laws that simply are not on the books in Hong Kong. You never know... this might be one of them.

For Hong Kong, allowances depends on whether you have an HK ID Card or not.
If you are an incoming passenger (aged 18+) who does not hold a HKIC, you can bring in 1 litre of alcoholic liquor (+ 200 cigs). If you do have an HKIC (and aged 18+) and have spent 24+ hours outside HK, you can only bring in 750 ml of still wine (and 60 cigs). But I think most people in HK knows this, particularly if their stuff has been confiscated...
Cap. 109G, Sec. 1.

Thanks for clairifying that! ;)
Hey I've been in HK 11 years and I didn't know. Never had the need to bring in liquor or cigarettes in all that time.
