u are always reliable! man!
This time is really hard work.
I was late to the airport (1 1/2 hrs before departure and air side customs won't process the refund within 1/2 hrs). I was looking for the land side customs office but couldn't find them, with a 30 kg luggage with me. Ask the police officer and he said there's none in the land side. My heart sank.
Turn out that it's at the arrival level and I was running around at the departure level.
Went to the air side customs after a long line at security check. The sucker gave me a refund on the GST with $0 on Wet Tax and I asked him why? He said the computer says so and I could go on the internet and check. Of course I wouldn't take that kind of shit. He challenged me where the wet tax is shown on the invoice and I told him not to argue with an expert as I have done it about 30 times. He then spent another 10 mins. trying to figure out and yes, gave me a $22 wet tax refund. I said you must be kidding and he said again the computer said so. He actually used the wet tax rate X the GST, not the original value of the purchase. This is how Aussie works. Hum Gar Charn. Another ten minutes later which was around the boarding time, he finally gave me what I am entitled to.
HK customs is really reasonable and like you guys said, they only looked at their record for the dutiable value.
The W is taxed at $XX per litre
plus 10% import license charge. The Giancoonda is a little over double of that. As a good citizen, I duly paid my dues. He also asked me if I wanted to abandon the wine because of the duty.
Overall, it worked out very well. The only bad news is the strength of the Aussie $.
