Import a Car to Hong Kong with Crypto | Bitmalo

Hong Kong is one of Asia’s most straightforward destinations for vehicle imports thanks to its free-port status (no import duty on cars). However, buyers still face challenges around emissions standards, RHD-only eligibility, and registration paperwork. Bitmalo provides a fully managed process where you choose the car, pay in crypto or bank transfer, and we coordinate everything from inspection and shipping to delivery across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories.

Import Rules in Hong Kong

• Drive side: Only RHD vehicles are eligible for road use.
• Emissions: Most cars must meet Euro 6 petrol standards; Bitmalo verifies compliance during inspection.
• Classic imports: Vehicles older than 30 years may qualify for Environmental Protection Department (EPD) exemptions, and we supply the necessary cover letters.
• Noise regulations: Strict limits apply; inspections are carried out before registration.

Customs & Clearance

While there is no import duty, every vehicle still requires a formal declaration with Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department (C&ED). Bitmalo prepares and files this paperwork, avoiding delays.

Once cleared, your car can be registered with the Transport Department, provided all emissions and roadworthiness standards are met.

Shipping Options

• Ocean freight: Typically routed through Kwai Tsing (CT1–CT9) terminals. Transit time: 3–5 weeks door-to-door.
• Air freight: Through HKG (Chek Lap Kok), faster but more expensive. Transit time: 3–7 days door-to-door.

We manage terminal handling, dangerous goods paperwork for EVs, and covered delivery to hard-to-access addresses, including basements and hillside roads.

Why Bitmalo for Hong Kong?

• Crypto or bank settlement with clean invoices and TXIDs.
• Regular import lanes into Kwai Tsing and HKG with vetted handlers.

Final Word

Hong Kong combines straightforward customs with very strict emissions and road-use rules. Bitmalo ensures your car clears C&ED customs, meets Euro 6 standards, and is delivered to your door—ready for registration.
