Shipping to Macau
Macau, across the Pearl River estuary from Hong Kong, is a special administrative region with its own customs and a free-port regime. It is famous for its casinos, Portuguese heritage and tourism.
Commercial cargo only. Personal effects are not accepted to Macau under the current tariff. Business shipments for the hospitality and retail sectors are cleared quickly, and most goods are duty-free.
Macau's integrated resorts buy furniture, fittings, food and beverage supplies from around the world, and Canadian suppliers sometimes ship directly to them. Macau uses the pataca, and Portuguese and Chinese are its official languages, but English is common in business. Delivery is quick because the territory is small; most addresses are within 30 minutes of the port. For goods to the mainland, choose a mainland destination instead.
