Importing a Car to Hong Kong using Crypto | Bitmalo

Hong Kong is one of Asia’s easiest places to import cars because of its free-port status (no import duty on cars). However, buyers still face challenges concerning emissions standards, RHD-only eligibility, and the registration paperwork. Bitmalo offers a fully managed process where you pick your car, pay with crypto or a bank transfer, and we handle everything from inspection and shipping to delivery across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories.

Import Rules in Hong Kong

• Driving side: Only RHD vehicles are allowed for road use.
• Emissions: Most cars must meet Euro 6 petrol standards; Bitmalo checks for compliance during inspection.
• Classic imports: Cars older than 30 years might qualify for Environmental Protection Department (EPD) exemptions, and we provide the required cover letters.
• Noise regulations: Very strict limits apply; inspections are done before registration.

Customs & Clearance

Even though there's 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, helping you avoid delays.

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

Shipping Options

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

We handle terminal handling, dangerous goods paperwork for EVs, and safe delivery to hard-to-reach places, including basements and hillside roads.
