I will be shipping my personal effects over and they include a few electronic items such as rice cooker, electric jug, etc.

The DHL guy told me that I may need an import licence to bring these electronic items into Hong Kong and I said 'what'?

Anyone has any experience to share?

‘electronic’ and ‘electrical’ is completely different, some of the electronic goods may need import or export license when classified as 'strategic item', electrical does not need any, simply tell them that is electrical not electronic….

Thanks, 44.
Will tell them its electrical items then!

I have ordered some preprimed canvas from US becuase I could not buy good quality here in HK and now the shipping company ask me for my import licence.

What should I do?

Find a better shipping company, or refer them to the HK Customs website where they can find the list of items on which there is import control.

hi thanks PDLM,

However the shipment company was preselected by the company from whom I purchased.

The goods have landed in HK and shipment compnay advise me that I require import licence before they can release the goods.

Contact the Customs authority and ask them. Phone, fax and email details here.
