Whether it is reliable depends on the operation details. If the freight forwarder or trade agent found is not professional, problems are likely to occur in cargo transportation. For example, I once heard that when someone's goods were transshipped in Hong Kong, the customs clearance was delayed due to the freight forwarder's mistake, resulting in additional costs. So, an experienced agent should be selected.

From a policy perspective, Hong Kong strongly supports entrepot trade and has stable policies. However, in actual operation, there may be some bad intermediaries in the market who cheat under the guise of entrepot trade. The cooperation partners should be carefully screened and their reputation should be investigated more.

The reliability is also related to the type of goods. There are generally no major problems with the transshipment of ordinary consumer goods, such as electronic products and textiles. The transshipment process in Hong Kong is mature. But for some special chemical products, which involve complex regulatory requirements, more attention should be paid to regulations during transshipment.
