With the establishment and operation of the Hong Kong company, exporting goods requires the preparation of two sets of documents. The customs declaration is usually handled by domestic agent companies, who act as the shipping agents. When exporting under the name of the Hong Kong company and with a contract signed with a foreign client, the documents provided to the customer should be issued in the name of the Hong Kong company.
The main documents required for foreign customers typically include the bill of lading, commercial invoice, and packing list. Among these, the bill of lading is the most critical. If the freight forwarder is chosen by the Hong Kong company itself, then the bill of lading will be issued under the Hong Kong company’s name. However, if the customer specifies the freight forwarder, a change order must be arranged to ensure the correct party is listed on the documents.
For payment terms:
1. **T/T (Telegraphic Transfer):**
The shipper should be filled out as the Hong Kong company’s name and address. The consignee should include the customer's full name, address, and contact number. The notify party can be the same as the consignee, and no endorsement is needed. It’s recommended to send a copy of the bill of lading via fax to the customer for review before the original is sent after payment is received.
2. **L/C (Letter of Credit):**
The shipper on the bill of lading should match the beneficiary named in the letter of credit (usually the agent export company). The consignee should be “To Order of [Customer Name]†as specified in the L/C, and the notify party is generally also required by the L/C terms.
It's important to maintain clear communication with both the agent company and the customer to avoid any delays or misunderstandings during the export process. Always double-check the details on all documents before finalizing them.
