Duty Free Query

We are going on a multi trip holiday at Christmas.

I understand that there are certain limits to what i can bring back home, but what about from different country to country?

We start in Hong Kong, travel to 3 different cities in Australia and finish off in Singapore. Is there a place which tells me global duty free limits? (ive found the UK) While we are in Australia we are staying with friends, so could get them some duty free - also if ive bought clothes and they have been worn and washed, would they be classed as 'new' items when we finally get back home? What about gifts? we are there over christmas so although i will be taking a few things with me for my children, i know my friends will also be buying them a few things so would they be counted, as we would not have bought them?

I always feel guilty coming home and walking through the nothing to declare section, even though i know i have nothing - i dont want to risk going through and getting caught with anything i shouldnt due to a misunderstanding!

Thanks in advance for any help x

I think your safest bet is to go to the "Customs" website for each country that you are entering. This should also tell you if you can buy your stuff on arrival, rather that hauling around the globe on the aircraft.
