 Key Notes for Shipping from Mainland China to Hong Kong
Shipping Fee Rules
Consolidation fees are calculated on both actual weight and volumetric weight, and the higher of the two is the billable weight. The difference is small for clothing, but large furniture, mattresses and bulky goods can easily trigger volumetric weight, so it is advisable to ask for a quote before ordering.
Prohibited Items List (Do Not Ship)
Meat, sausages, egg products, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, flammable and explosive items, e-cigarettes, and counterfeit or infringing goods are all prohibited. Once caught by Hong Kong Customs, the parcel will be directly detained or confiscated.
Storage & Packing Reminders

The warehouse provides 90 days of free storage. Parcels stored for a long time without arranging shipment will incur storage fees, so remember to consolidate and ship in time.

For fragile items such as large furniture and sintered stone tables, it is recommended to ask the seller to reinforce the packaging to reduce the risk of damage in transit.

Customs Clearance Notes
Hong Kong Customs conducts random inspections, which is normal. Compliant parcels simply need to provide the requested documents and wait for clearance; parcels containing prohibited items will be confiscated.
