Overview

Why Hong Kong asks for a legalised trade or commercial licence

Licences prove that your business is allowed to manufacture or trade a product: municipal trade licences, factory licences, drug manufacturing licences, FSSAI licences and similar permits. Trade, factory, manufacturing, drug and FSSAI licences are issued by municipal, state or central authorities depending on the activity.

Distributors and regulators in Asia often ask for legalised licences and registrations when approving a new Indian supplier.

Companies dealing with Hong Kong are most often asked for a legalised trade or commercial licence during product registration by regulators, as well as for plant or supplier approval and tenders.

A trade or commercial licence 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.

Process

Step-by-step: trade or commercial licence apostille for Hong Kong

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the trade or commercial licence and tell us who in Hong Kong will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notary in India

    The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the trade or commercial licence.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Back to you

    The finished trade or commercial licence is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Hong Kong.

What to send us

  • Product list or annexure, if any
  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Certified copy of the licence
  • Company registration copy
  • Certified Chinese translation, if the authority in Hong Kong asks (we arrange it)

Avoid rejection

  • The address must match the plant address on other documents.
