Import a Car to Hong Kong with Crypto | Bitmalo

Hong Kong stands as one of Asia's most straightforward places for vehicle imports, thanks to its free-port status (meaning no import duty on cars). However, buyers still encounter challenges concerning emissions standards, the requirement for RHD vehicles only, and registration paperwork. Bitmalo offers a fully managed process where you pick the car, pay with crypto or bank transfer, and we handle everything from inspection and shipping right up to delivery across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories.

Import Rules in Hong Kong

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

Customs & Clearance

Even though there is no import duty, every vehicle still needs a formal declaration with the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department (C&ED). Bitmalo prepares and submits this paperwork, thereby avoiding delays.

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

Shipping Options

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

We manage terminal handling, documentation for dangerous goods for EVs, and secure delivery to challenging-to-access addresses, including basements and hillside roads.
