Hong Kong Customs Information
When shipping a parcel to Hong Kong, it will be subject to customs clearance. However, additional charges generally don’t apply as Hong Kong is a free port - meaning it does not impose VAT, GST or customs fees on exports and imports.
Excise duty is only applied to packages containing liquors, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil and methyl alcohol. More information on duty costs for these items can be found on the Hong Kong government website.
You’ll need to include some extra paperwork with your parcel to Hong Kong so that it makes its way through Hong Kong customs easily. Paperwork will normally include a commercial invoice and possibly other documents depending on the items you send.
