About the Netherlands Import & Export Hong Kong

Investor testimonials
Built on the delta of some of Europe's main rivers, the Neth-
erlands is a small country that punches above its weight in
world business and politics.
It has a growing and healthy economy with a strong services
sector and excellent industries like life sciences, electronics,
food, flowers, the chemical industry, water technology, and
engineering. More>>>
Traditionally Hong Kong has been a centre for buying
and sourcing for traders from all over the world. Annu-
ally, the trade fairs in Hong Kong attract hundreds or
thousands of visitors from all over the world and especial-
ly from the Chinese mainland. Many entrepreneurs in
Hong Kong are specialised buying and sourcing agents.
They help overseas customers to find suitable products
and arrange production, quality control, logistics and of-
ten also administration.
Unexperienced importers can prevent many problems
and save a lot of time and money by teaming up with a
buying and sourcing agent in Hong Kong.

The HK Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands can

help you to find a suitable buying and sourcing agent
quickly. Call or write for an appointment or more infor-
mation. More>>>
