The Cargo Declaration is a fundamental document in Hong Kong's international trade framework, required under the Import and Export Ordinance (Cap. 60) and enforced by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department. This declaration must be submitted for all commercial shipments entering, leaving, or transiting through Hong Kong, typically within 14 days of the shipment date. The document serves multiple purposes: it enables customs authorities to monitor trade flows, assess duties and taxes, enforce trade regulations, and maintain security oversight. A properly completed Cargo Declaration includes detailed information about the goods, their value, origin, destination, and the parties involved in the transaction. It forms part of the broader documentation requirements for international trade and is often submitted electronically through Hong Kong's electronic trading services.
