If you’re sending care packages containing food, you’re advised to contact our team to check whether they will be admissable into the US.
Apparel: Package should include the manufacturer’s name, fibre content, country of origin and care instructions. Any clothing or footwear that contains dog and cat fur is prohibited from entry.
Alcohol & tobacco: All alcohol and tobacco products sent as gifts are subjected to duty.
Household goods/personal effects: Unless they have been used for over a year, household goods are subjected to duty.
Counterfeits: Fake goods cannot be shipped.
When you send a shipment overseas, you need to indicate the total value of your shipment, include a complete list of items and their respective values, while leaving your and your recipients contact details. And here are some essential tips and information before shipping a care package to the United States.
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Certification of Origin
Letter of Credit or other payment terms
Bill of Lading or Airway Bill from Hong Kong to the United States
Should you be sending a care package as a gift, you won’t have to pay any duties unless the total value of your shipment goes beyond US$100. However, any alcohol or tobacco products will be subject to duty charge. Also, you must ensure all your paperwork is in order and make all duty payments to ensure seamless transit.
If you are shipping fragile products or items of high value in your care package, consider insurance to protect them from damage or loss. When you ship with DHL Express, shipment insurance would typically cost about HK$60 or 2.10% of the insured value, whichever is higher.
