CUSTOMS REGULATIONS

HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND PERSONAL EFFECTS

  • Customs clearance in Hong Kong is very simple. We require a signed copy of the customers passport, the packing list and letter authorizing us to clear the shipment on the customers behalf.
  • All items are duty free except vehicles, alcohol, cigarettes, tobacco and perfume.
  • Due to traffic restrictions all shipments will be cleared at the port and unloaded at our warehouse pending delivery by small truck. Containers are not normally delivered to residence.
  • If the residence is above the second floor and no elevator is available extra charges will be incurred for the carry upstairs/hoisting and will be billed to the customer PRIOR to delivery.

PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED GOODS

  • Never mix personal effects with commercial goods.
  • Generally pornography, guns, fireworks, narcotics, gambling instruments and subversive or offensive literature are banned.

MOTOR VEHICLES (AUTOS AND MOTORBIKES)

  • Only right hand drive cars can be imported upon payment of very high duty and registration levy.

ANIMALS AND PETS

  • Pets may be imported but a valid Import Permit is required to be issued prior to arrival of the pet. Pets must be forwarded as manifested cargo under an Airway Bill (not hand carried). To apply for an Import Permit we require the general details of the pet (name, sex, breed, age, color). Import Permits can take up to 2 weeks to issue and shipments MUST NOT be forwarded without an Import Permit. When the pet is forwarded it is essential that the rabies vaccination and general vaccination certificates are attached to the Airway Bill. Up to 4 months quarantine is required at an approved quarantine establishment. Length of quarantine depends which country the pet is imported from. Contact JVK for more details.
