Importing to the Hong Kong: is it actually cheaper?
We haven't priced individual products for Hong Kong yet — but the checker works on any Hong Kong product link right now: paste one and we read its price, match our US price of record, and do the landed-cost math below. Here's how importing to Hong Kong works.
How importing to the Hong Kong works
- Import VAT
- 0% on the US price + shipping (CIF), above a HK$999,999,999 de-minimis threshold.
- Duty
- 0% — Hong Kong is a free port and levies no customs tariff on imports. Consumer electronics (smartphones, laptops, cameras, headphones) enter duty-free. Excise duty applies only to four dutiable commodities — liquor over 30% ABV, tobacco, certain hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol — none of which are electronics.
- Forwarding
- Buy&Ship, from the US — about 3-14 days.
- FX
- HK$7.847/USD mid-market + 3% card spread, as of 2026-10-22. Rates By Exchange Rate API
