Agency agreement for Hong Kong: what and why
An agency or distribution agreement appoints a local company abroad to import, register or sell your products. Many countries require it to be registered with a ministry before the agent can act, and they accept it only once legalised. The agency or distribution agreement is executed between your Indian company and the foreign agent, signed by your authorised signatory.
Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.
In Hong Kong, a legalised agency agreement is typically requested for registering a commercial agent or distributor; it is also used for product registration by the local agent and exclusive territory appointments.
A agency agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Hong Kong accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
