Can I pack my own items when moving to Hong Kong?
Items marked “packed by owner” shouldn’t be sent to Hong Kong because Customs officials may be more likely to check them when they arrive, which could slow down the clearance process. You should have Baxter Shipping pack your goods to make sure they are packed well, labelled and numbered correctly, and use the space in the cartons and containers well. How much will it cost to ship my things to Hong Kong? The cost of your move will depend on things like the Freight mode (i.e., whether your container is dedicated or shared), the size of your shipment, and whether there are any special needs, such as specialised crating, packing, heavy lift, or specialised transport.

Preparing your personal effects for shipping to Hong Kong
Even though Hong Kong has strict rules for imports, there aren’t that many things that can’t be brought there. Personal effects can be brought in duty-free as long as the right paperwork is filled out. Even though there are some restrictions, the list of banned items is pretty much the same in most countries. As a professional moving company, we will give you all the paperwork, information, and help you need for your move to Hong Kong. We work hard to make sure you have the most up-to-date information and new rules if they change.
