Send Gifts to Hong Kong from Australia

Are you hoping to send your family, colleagues, significant others, or business associates in Hong Kong some gifts from Australia? We know how daunting it can be, especially if you are doing it for the first time. You don't need to worry. This article will guide you on how to go about it and provide all the information you may need to stay up-to-date with the most popular and recent trends in gift delivery. Here is everything you ought to know about sending gifts to Hong Kong from Australia;

Understand the culture

Hong Kong is usually referred to as the Asian World city for a reason. The city is home to Caucasians from South East and Middle East Asia, Chinese and Latin cultures. For most of these cultures, gifting is a crucial part of any form of relationship, and therefore, you should be careful when doing it.

When sending any gifts to anyone in Hong Kong, be sure to understand the gifting etiquette and taboos.  For instance, you can't send someone sharp items like knives if you don't wish them dead. Additionally, you can't send gifts in sets of 4, handkerchiefs, or clocks. But, you can send sweets, flowers, fruit baskets, and alcoholic gifts such as wine, spirits, and beer.

Wrapping is a crucial part of sending any gifts to Hong Kong. The culture of the island has various interpretations of the way gifts get presented. Be sure to send your gifts wrapped in golden or red paper. They symbolize peace, while the blue wrapper may connote sourness.

Some gifts may attract custom duty.

Before sending a gift, make sure you understand the customs and regulations. Any presents with a value not exceeding $1000 are not taxed, but those worth more might attract some custom fees. Sending a gift that might attract taxes might inconvenience your recipient with having to file taxes, and you might end up embarrassed for bothering your VIP recipient. If you want to avoid such situations, consider sending your gifts via a delivery service native to Hong Kong.
