Many people like to buy electronic products from Hong Kong, such as Iphone, Ipad and so on. Do not use the post office to send products containing electricity. Security checks at airport are now 100% detectable, which wastes time and money, even if not every courier company can deliver. On the contrary, LHK Express has a dedicated route for shipping electronic products and will make a tailor-made solution for your shipment.

 

What service should I use to send electronic products? (Not applicable if TOR is available)

Use LHK Safe Plus (EG) ,including tax and custom clearance, and the recipient does not need to deal with any logistics and custom issues.

 

Note: LHK Safe Service cannot be used because electronic products are high-value items and require special channels to clear customs smoothly.

The following items, electronics, are defined as high-value items:

1) All models of mobile phones

2) Macbook, and some models of laptops

3) Imac, and some models of desktop computers

4) Ipad, and some models of Tablet

 

How to declare?

After choosing LHK Safe Plus (EG), it is very simple, fill in the item name and the real value. Please fill in truthfully even if the value exceeds the allowance of GBP 49, the recipient does not need to pay any tax under any circumstances.

Shipping insurance is recommended when shipping high-value items. Shipping insurance charges are based on the value of the item. You select *Requires Insurance* at the end of the order, and the system will calculate the insurance charge for your order immediately.

 

 

How much does it cost to buy electronic products from Hong Kong and send them to the UK?

For example, IPHONE, about 1KG, freight and tax HKD 480.

Take an Iphone 13 Pro 256GB as an example,

UK retail price £ 1049 x 9.5 exchange rate = HKD 9965 ,

Hong Kong retail price HKD 8099+ freight and tax HKD 480= HKD 8579,

If you buy an Iphone 13 Pro 256GB in Hong Kong, you save a total of HKD 1386 (you will save even more if you buy a higher spec Iphone).

 

 

For example, Macbook, about 3KG, shipping and tax HKD 1080.

Take a Macbook 13 inch 8GB Memory 512GB SSD as an example,

UK retail price £1549 x 9.5 exchange rate = HKD 14715 ,

Hong Kong retail price HKD 11499+ freight and tax HKD 1080= HKD 12579,
