31 Jul 2015 / Hong Kong, all ports
The Philippines' Bureau of Immigration has issued a reminder to seafarers to refrain from bringing with them prohibited items when travelling to or through Hong Kong ports. The Hong Kong Police Airport District has requested our Philippine Consulate Office to warn Filipino nationals, especially seafarers, on their strict prohibition of stun guns, tear gas, bullets, extendible batons and knuckle dusters which are all considered �arms� under their Firearms and Ammunition Ordinance. As of 2014, 81 Filipino nationals (mostly seafarers) have been convicted of possession of arms without license in Hong Kong. This offence is punishable by a fine of HK$ 100,000 and/or a maximum sentence of 14 years. All hand carried and checked in luggage of tourists or transiting passengers are subjected to security screening in all terminals.
