Description: In the context of the Import and Export Ordinance (Cap. 60), a courier company bringing textiles into Hong Kong through air freight services or on-board couriers is an importer of the subject textiles even though that company may not be the consignee of the subject textiles. Courier companies are therefore reminded that prior import licenses must be obtained or Import Notifications (Textiles) be filed to cover textiles consignments brought into Hong Kong by them.
Textiles consignments imported by courier companies normally have the following characteristics:
a. each consolidated consignment normally involves many different local consignees;
b. the quantities involved in individual consignments (as in accordance with House Waybill) are small; and
c. the consignments are usually imported by air for express delivery.
Consignments imported on the same flight/vessel/vehicle for delivery to different consignees are normally allowed to be grouped under one import license application provided that:
i. each license application covers up to a maximum of seven product items;
ii. the Master Waybill number and the House Waybill numbers are provided in the "Mark(s) and Number(s)" column of the license application;
iii. there is only one declared importer and one exporter in respect of the product items listed. In this connection, the Department will accept that the Hong Kong courier company be declared as the importer and the overseas office of the courier company as the exporter;
iv. if the consignments are brought in by on-board couriers, an additional code ’OBC’ should be entered in the "Vessel/Flight/Vehicle No." column.
Courier companies which lodge license applications after the arrival of the textiles consignments will be required to follow the licensing arrangements for retrospective application for Import License (Textiles) Form 7.
