The tobacco allowance for incoming passengers will be tightened to 19 cigarettes, or 25 grams of cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco, from August 1.
The Customs & Excise Department said today passengers exceeding these quantities must make a declaration to customs officers or face two-years' jail and a $1 million fine.
The move will be promoted via television and radio announcements, and leaflets, posters and banners at control points and cross-boundary transportation facilities.
