Q: Do the same international and national transport regulations apply to Hong Kong as to China?

Hong Kong , while part of China, operates as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with its own customs regulations and import/export laws. DSV ensures your shipment complies with the appropriate regulations and offers benefits such as lower import duties and faster processing in Hong Kong compared to other parts of China.
