It is also recommended that the shipper requests the consignee to give the issued import licence to DHL Macau for customs clearance before the shipment arrives. Furthermore, Macau only has 3 days free storage. After 3 days, storage will be charged. 

Operation Notes	
Relevant duty, which is approximately 30% of the invoice amount, will be levied on any such shipment once it arrives Hongkong and expect delay of 3-5 days for re-export application. Kindly note and explain to clients before accepting these shipments.
