150 years of being under British rule means there are strong trade links between the UK and Hong Kong.
It is believed that there are over 20,000 Brits living in Hong Kong, many of them young, single professionals who still have strong family ties back “home”.
The colonial relationship between the two countries has also resulted in tens of thousands of Hong Kong-born people coming to the UK, particularly as English is a language shared between the two nations.
A member of the World Trade Organisation, Hong Kong is considered one of the world's most significant financial centres and houses the operational centres of many global industries.
There is also strong demand for British-made products in this geographic area, which has the formal title of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Clearly, it is also a highly significant gateway to mainland China too.
All this adds up to a lot of parcels passing backwards and forwards, including gifts, personal items, consumer goods and a wide range of other deliveries.
Fortunately, finding the right agent to get your parcel swiftly, safely and cost effectively from the UK to Hong Kong is not a problem.
ParcelBroker has created a strong working relationship and favourable terms with the most reliable courier services in Hong Kong.
This ensures smooth passage for your items door to door, from any address in the UK to any destination in Hong Kong.
One of the biggest advantages of sending gifts and goods from Britain to Hong Kong with Parcel Broker is that it has free trade policies. This means there are no tariffs charged on importing or exporting goods, and no customs duties and taxes. However, there is excise duty on certain specific items.
As Hong Kong is outside the EU, you will need customs clearance for parcels, and an official form describing the contents and value.
ParcelBroker helps with the paperwork and guides you through the process.
The cost structure created by ParcelBroker makes it highly affordable to send personal items or consumer goods to Hong Kong. The service starts from as little as £21.95.
You can add on things like signature tracking and additional cover for valuable items. It is your choice.
Hong Kong addresses are written much in the same way as UK ones. In descending order, on separate lines you need: name of recipient; flat and floor numbers; building name; village, town or district (in CAPITALS) ;if it is going to Kowloon Peninsula and New Territories add that (in CAPITALS); then finish it with Hong Kong (in CAPITALS).
What items can I send to Hong Kong?
There are things that cannot be parcelled up and shipped under any circumstances, including explosives, sharp objects and illicit drugs that can cause harm.
Hong Kong has other prohibited or restricted items too, such as printed books, pictures or newspapers and works of art.
