China-Hong Kong express shipments and express deliveries are concepts in two different categories. China-Hong Kong express shipments are a form of import and export customs declaration. General trade is also a form of import and export customs declaration. General trade is the most important and common form of import and export customs declaration in China. The volume of goods declared through China-Hong Kong express shipments is much smaller than that of general trade. At the same time, customs declaration for China-Hong Kong express shipments will definitely exist all the time.

China-Hong Kong express shipments

For example, a factory has a batch of products it produces and transports them to Hong Kong for exhibition. After the exhibition, this batch of products needs to be returned to the Shenzhen factory. If it is necessary to prove that they are returned goods from an export exhibition, the procedures will definitely be very cumbersome. Purely importing according to general trade and paying customs duties and value-added tax is too costly. At this time, importing through China-Hong Kong express shipments is the most suitable.

The biggest characteristic of customs declaration for China-Hong Kong express shipments is valuation declaration. Customers do not need to provide documents such as invoices, packing lists, and purchase contracts. After valuation declaration, customs duties and value-added tax must also be paid to the customs. For customers, fees are calculated on a per-kilogram all-inclusive basis according to different product names.
