Under the Import and Export (Registration) Regulations, every person who imports or exports any article other than an exempted article is required to lodge with the Commissioner of Customs and Excise an accurate and complete import or export/re-export declaration within 14 days after the importation or exportation of the article. Importation or exportation of personal articles (including articles directly purchased from or sold to overseas through the Internet or other means) is also subject to the above declaration requirements, unless such articles are exempted articles within the meaning of the Import and Export (Registration) Regulations.
