"Hong Kong Fulfillment
Hong Kong is one of the main fulfillment hubs in Asia and a perfect choice if you sell to clients in mainland China and other Asian countries.
In short, you send the products in bulk shipments to Hong Kong where a 3PL company helps you with the inbound, storage, pick & pack, and shipping to end-customers in mainland China.
There are many benefits why Hong Kong is a perfect location for the fulfillment of products. First of all, it has the freest economy in the world with no import duties or VAT.
If you open a Hong Kong company, you can also receive payments in RMB and manage local operations through the entity.
Below I’ve made a summary of both the pros and cons when using a Hong Kong-based fulfillment center compared to a bonded warehouse in China:
Pros:
No tariffs when shipping products for storage in Hong Kong
Easy and fast to register a Hong Kong company
A good way to test the Mainland China market for your products
Cons:
Generally more expensive pick & pack fees and storage costs
Slower delivery times
Goods can be held up in customs (and are subject to changes)
Chinese consumers are subject to an annual quota of duty-free cross-border retail imports"
