Can I send clothes to Hong Kong?
Allowed
Yes.
Used clothing and shoes pay no duty or tax at any value.
Before you ship to Hong Kong
- Tax-free limit
- No threshold applies, because ordinary goods pay no duty or tax at any value. Dutiable goods (spirits over 30% alcohol, tobacco, certain fuels, and methyl alcohol) are taxed from the first bottle or stick. Shipped personal effects get no duty-free concession for them.
- Receiver ID
- Hong Kong has no import tax number to give. The courier needs the receiver's full name, the full address with flat and floor, and a local phone number to arrange delivery.
- Transit
- 1-3 business days from elsewhere in Asia; 3-5 from Europe or North America
