Send a parcel to Hong Kong

As a business centre, Hong Kong is focused on making business transactions as easy as possible. Because of this, most small, letter-size shipments are completely duty-free and easily pass through the border of Hong Kong. This makes it extremely easy to ship paperwork, proposals and other business mail from the UK to Hong Kong. Packages, however, need full customs forms and proper declarations, but Parcel Monkey will help you with this as part of the booking process.
