The issue
Buying from a Hong Kong company may involve goods made elsewhere. Seller identity, dispatch location and customs origin are separate facts.
What to prepare
Trace manufacturer, processing, records and route; consult the official market profile and EU tariff. Transit through Hong Kong alone does not establish preferential treatment. Check contracts, payment and product compliance separately.
General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
Selling “in Europe” does not identify one legal regime. Italy and other EU states share many rules; the UK, Switzerland and other markets need separate checks.
A Macao transaction should not simply be treated as generic “trade with China”. Identify the actual company, customs territory, origin and destination.
