Generally speaking, when buying gold ornaments in the mainland, the price of gold is mainly determined by the listing price of gold and the manual fee; The gold price in Hong Kong and Macao consists of "pure gold price", commission and manual fee. If you want to compare the gold prices in the two places, you need to add them up and compare them again.
Now people don't go to Hong Kong and Macao to buy gold.

As one of the largest producers and consumers of gold and jewelry in the world, China once became the first choice for mainland residents to buy gold. Since when did almost more and more people stop buying gold in Hong Kong this year?
With the approach of Mid-Autumn Festival last week, Shenzhen International Jewelry Exhibition and Shenzhen Jewelry Festival was held in Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center from September 14 to September 18, with an exhibition area of 60,000 square meters and 3,300 stations. There are about 1 100 exhibitors at home and abroad, attracting more than 40,000 professional buyers from more than 28 countries and regions around the world to visit, negotiate and trade.
The real-time gold price is the same after exchange rate conversion.
I used to buy gold in Hong Kong and Macau, which was at least 10% cheaper than the mainland. Mainly because the exchange rate is cheap, there is no value-added tax and customs duties. Now the exchange rate difference between Hong Kong dollar and RMB is getting smaller and smaller. The discount on buying gold is getting less and less. In addition, according to the announcement No.2016 published on the website of the General Administration of Customs on April 61,the classification and tax rates of the Classification Table of Imported Articles in People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Duty Paid Price Table of Imported Articles in People's Republic of China (PRC) were adjusted accordingly.
The newly adjusted duty-paid price list of imported articles by the State General Administration of Customs shows that if the value of personal belongings exceeds 2,000 yuan (or more than 5,000 yuan by air) when returning to the mainland from Hong Kong, customs duties will be levied, of which the tax rate for gold and silver, jewelry and its products, artworks and collectibles is 10%.
In this way, the cost of buying gold in Macao and Hong Kong is much higher than that in the mainland. The tariff alone exceeds the price bought at home.
The income of Hong Kong and Macao is high, and the corresponding gold jewelry processing service fee is higher.
There is a common sense in buying gold, that is, the price of gold jewelry in the mainland is generally composed of two parts, the listing price and the labor cost; Hong Kong and Macao are divided into three parts. The first part is the "pure gold price", the second part is the commission (generally 2%-3% of the pure gold price), and the last part is the labor fee (generally 0.5%- 1% of the pure gold price). The store will print each fee on the invoice.
Because the wages in Hong Kong and Macao are higher, the labor cost of gold jewelry in Hong Kong and Macao is higher than that in the mainland. Mainland consumers can only add up all the prices for conversion and comparison when buying. For example, when panda gold coins sell well in a year, the sales price in the mainland is 23,500 yuan, while the price of this set of panda coins in the second-hand market in Hong Kong is as high as 25,000 yuan, which is even higher than that in the mainland.
Hong Kong, Macao and the Mainland have different pricing units.
In fact, mainland customers frequently go to Hong Kong and Macao to buy gold, but many people still don't understand that the "two" in Hong Kong and Macao is completely different from the "two" in the Mainland. But all gold jewelry stores in Hong Kong use "two" to mark their prices. Many mainland tourists are lost in the ocean of "two" in this way, thinking that they have got a big bargain.
The mainland's "two" is 50 grams, one kilogram is equal to 12 ounces, and 1 kg is equal to 20 ounces.
