Hong Kong’s Strategic Commodities Control System has listed some items (e.g. military equipment) that will require the exporting company to apply for a licence. However, based on the Transhipment Cargo Exemption Scheme, goods in transit are exempted from obtaining a licence if they stay in the transport vehicle during the entire shipment.
A customs permit is used to clarify the import and tax payments of the cargo. If your mode of shipment is by air or sea, a customs permit has to be submitted to the shipping or airline agent within 10 days of the import.
Be sure to read up on the different types of customs permits and the situations where a customs permit is not required.
These documents include (but are not limited to):
Even after your cargo has been successfully shipped, it is essential for you and your Declaring Agent to keep all the relevant documents pertaining to the purchase, sale, import and export of your items for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the permit application approval.
For the shipping of small items, air freight is the more cost-efficient option.
However, sea freight tends to be 5-6 times cheaper than air freight when it comes to shipping a large volume of cargo.
