I need to take 10 bottles of wine from Hong Kong to Shenzhen. They're samples for a tasting. Will it be possible to take them there by train or boat? Will Customs have any problem with 10 bottles of wine? Thank you.

Hello fellow wine trader. Yes China Customs is going to have LOTS of problems with you trying to take 10 bottles across the border... That's way over the legal, duty-free, allocation (1 litre, with two 75-cl bottles being usually tolerated).

You either need to find 4 travel companions, who will carry 2 bottles each, or leave 8 of these bottles in HK.

There used to be ways, before Covid, to take "excess" amounts of bottles across the border, but that's a thing of the past...
