• An Inventory packing list that details the contents of your shipment.
• Optional insurance to cover your stuff in the rare chance of loss or damage.

How to import personal effects to Hong Kong

As Hong Kong is a free port, you can import most new and used personal items without paying any customs duties, goods and services taxes or excise duties. Plus, diplomatic goods, inheritance goods, and gifts. However, each item must be of a reasonable quantity. Otherwise, they may be subject to taxes and duties and require an import license. 

Refer to the official Hong Kong government website for the most up-to-date information before packing. Our multilingual customer support team is available to answer your customs questions and offer advice.
