Customs service

Even though Hong Kong is part of China, the former British crown colony of Hong Kong has a very strong life of its own, which is also the case in terms of its economy. Hong Kong is one of the most dynamic urban centres in East Asia. When it comes to trade with China, there is often no way around Hong Kong. Whether by ocean freight or air freight, both the harbour and the airports impress with a large total volume and an enormous trade balance, and these factors continue to increase year after year.

However, when it comes to importing or exporting to Hong Kong, there are a number of guidelines to be observed, not only with regard to customs, but also import and export regulations. Here at Dörrenhaus, we not only take care of transport and foreign trade, but also all other hurdles that need to be overcome.

More than just transport

When it comes to importing and exporting with cities such as Hong Kong, many factors play an important role in ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Outside the EU, in addition to certain customs clearance , all documents for trade in various goods must also be in place. Thanks to our many years of experience, as a full-service agency we can offer you complete support for your Hong Kong project. Starting with the planning of the entire transport, through the arrangement of partners for onward transport, to the storage of your goods in our warehouses. With Dörrenhaus, you are always on the safe side.

Well secured all round

Our service begins with the initial consultation on your project relating to importing and exporting to Hong Kong. We will show you what you urgently need to keep in mind when transporting your goods. It's not just about the Special Administrative Region or the desired total trade volume, but also about the security of your goods. We work together with experienced local partners.

Once you have decided on a transport route, we take care of the proper handling and punctual delivery of the goods to Hong Kong or from Hong Kong to Germany. We work together with other companies at the destination so that nothing stands in the way of onward transport.

Transport modes for Hong Kong import and export

When it comes to transporting different goods to distant countries, you can choose between different options or combinations of variations, although we will of course also be happy to advise you individually on your projects.

Ocean Freight: Transport across the sea as sea freight is always favored in foreign trade with China. This is mainly because ocean freight is an environmentally friendly and economical transport method. Although the transport times are longer when transported by ship, the costs are significantly lower. For this reason, ocean freight is used by many companies in the clothing industry, the technology sector, the automotive industry, and many other sectors.

Air Freight: Air freight is the right choice when importing and exporting to Hong Kong, especially when things have to be done quickly or when sensitive products are involved. However, air freight is more expensive than sea freight to Hong Kong, but is also much faster. Several cubic meters of goods from a wide variety of areas can be quickly transported by air to East Asia or Hong Kong and many other countries around the world.
