The Hong Kong Entrepot Trade Certificate is generally not attached to the goods packaging but is used to accompany relevant trade documents. Commonly, it is attached to important documents such as commercial invoices and bills of lading. In actual operation, first, sort out the trade certificate and the corresponding documents. You can use paper clips or binding machines, etc. to carry out simple binding to ensure that it does not fall off easily. Pay attention to the key information on the trade certificate, such as the certificate number, goods description, information of both trading parties, etc., which should be clearly visible and not blocked. This is because in the process of goods clearance and other links, relevant departments such as the customs will verify the entrepot trade situation of the goods based on these documents and the trade certificate. Meanwhile, different trade scenarios and cooperating parties may have special requirements. If there is a communication agreement with customers or freight forwarders on a specific handling method, it should be implemented according to the agreement. In short, ensure that the trade certificate can accurately and clearly serve as an effective proof document in the trade process.

Usually, both the electronic version and the paper version should be prepared. The electronic version should be sent to the customers and freight forwarders, and the paper version should circulate with the original documents.

If you are really not sure, don't attach it first. Wait until you have confirmed with the cooperating party before taking action to avoid rework due to incorrect attachment.
