Trade Documentation Services
Hong Kong has long been attractive to international traders and businessmen worldwide due to its convenient location at the gateway to Mainland China, its free economy and its favourable structure. Through many years of advising and assisting these traders and businessmen, our trade documentation professionals have gained extensive, valuable knowledge and business contacts and relationships with banks, business and trade associations and the like. We are thus confident that we can provide our clients with useful information, appropriate practical assistance and professional advice in trade finance and documentation and the related tax issues.
a. Trade Finance
Our relationships with local and international banks enable us to assist in establishing banking facilities and negotiating relating terms and fee structure. We also advise on appropriate terms and conditions for letters of credit.
b. Trade Documentation
We are familiar with the many and varied documentary requirements of international business and are therefore able to ensure that your shipping documents are processed without undue delay and without incurring unnecessary costs.
Our documentation services include:
- Preparing or ensuring availability of documents such as bills of lading, certificate of origin, insurance certificate, inspection certificate, quality and quantity certificate, packing lists, sales invoices, etc.
- Document substitution where goods are repackaged or transhipped through Hong Kong
- Arranging shipping and insurance cover
- Liaising with banks and customers
We also provide document substitution services when goods are repackaged or transhipped through Hong Kong for tax or other reasons such as shipment consolidation, keeping sensitive information away from buyers and suppliers.
