So how are goods consolidated and shipped to Hong Kong? Below is a detailed introduction to how domestic goods are sent to Hong Kong, the basic process of China-Hong Kong freight, modes of transport, customs clearance guidelines, and related agreement points.
I. Domestic China-Hong Kong Freight Transport Process
- Origin Preparation
- Factory/Supplier: Goods are first prepared at the shipper's location (e.g., factory, supplier), then packed, labeled, and inventoried.
- Mainland Warehouse Consolidation
- Goods are delivered to the logistics company's warehouse for preliminary inspection, sorting, and consolidation. They can be self-delivered to the warehouse or collected by the logistics company.
- Mainland Customs Clearance
- Before goods leave the mainland, relevant export customs declaration documents must be submitted to mainland customs to complete clearance procedures. This includes but is not limited to customs declarations, invoices, packing lists, etc.
