Application for Transit

When applying for licences for goods in transit, apart from adhering to the import and export licensing requirements, applicants should also-

1. submit both the import and export licence applications together to the Trade and Industry Department;and
   
   

2. declare on the licence applications that the goods are in transit, and state the transport mode, name of the vessel or flight number, and expected arrival and departure dates.

As certain chemicals are regarded as sensitive goods, the Department may impose the licence conditions that the exporter must produce a landing certificate or delivery verification certificate in respect of the goods detailed in the licence to the Director-General of Trade and Industry within 12 weeks after the date of shipment.

More details on the licensing requirement on chemicals are available in Strategic Trade Controls Circular No. 16/04.
