1. What import and export agency work does Forever Gain HK Holding do?
Three kinds: exports from China (our Hong Kong company buys outright and resells to the overseas buyer), imports into China (mainly New Zealand food and marine ingredients), and the Hong Kong warehousing, dispatch and paperwork that support both. We do not act as a pure payment collector and we do not sell customs documents.
| Service | What we do | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| China export · Hong Kong re-export | Our Hong Kong company buys from the Chinese factory and pays for the goods, sells in its own name to the overseas buyer and collects payment; a qualified exporter declares the goods truthfully | Sales agents, traders and factories with an overseas order but no export licence |
| Imports into China | Route planning, documents and export-side coordination for New Zealand food and marine OEM products going into China (see NZGOCH.COM) | Brands and traders selling New Zealand products into China |
| Chinese goods into New Zealand | Our New Zealand related company acts as local importer, with warehousing and channels (see CHGONZ.COM) | Chinese suppliers entering the New Zealand market |
| Hong Kong warehousing and dispatch | Receiving, sorting, consolidation, local transport and document support in Hong Kong | Cross-border goods that need a Hong Kong hub |
2. How is a Hong Kong trade agent different from a payment collector?
A real trade agent is a party to the contracts: the Hong Kong company buys the goods outright, carries the risk on goods and payment, and the money is trade payment. Simply receiving money for others and forwarding it is a remittance service, which in Hong Kong requires a Money Service Operator licence — we do not do that.
For clients, the difference is whether the deal stands up to scrutiny: every payment in a real purchase is matched by a contract, invoice and customs declaration that banks, customs and tax authorities on both sides can follow. To see how it works in practice, read our field notes: No export licence? How a Hong Kong trade agent can export from China.
3. How do Hong Kong, Xiamen and New Zealand divide the work?
Hong Kong handles contracting, payment collection, paying suppliers and hub warehousing; Xiamen coordinates factories, warehouses and export formalities in China; our New Zealand related company, FG NZ Trade & Logistics Ltd, handles local import, clearance and warehousing and holds a New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) food import registration.
| Location | Entity | Main role |
|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong | Forever Gain HK Holding Ltd | Contracting and collection, paying suppliers, Hong Kong warehousing and dispatch |
| Xiamen | Forever Gain Xiamen | Working with Chinese factories and warehouses, coordinating export declarations and documents |
| New Zealand | FG NZ Trade & Logistics Ltd | New Zealand importer of record, MPI food import registration, local warehousing and delivery |
Our own brand 恩物® Thesaurus is a registered New Zealand trade mark (No. 1316638), so every step of this import and export chain is one we run for our own business too.
4. How does working with us go, and how long does it take?
Usually five steps: understand the order and goods → verify the buyer, supply and identity documents → agree the route and sign → purchase, export and collect payment → settle and file the documents. How long a first deal takes depends on the product and how complete the documents are, and is assessed case by case.
- Understand the order: product category, destination, buyer's country, expected order value range
- Verify: confirm a real buyer, real supply and complete identity documents; for used equipment, check the destination's import rules
- Agree the route and sign: Hong Kong re-export or entrusted export agency; risk, fees and profit allocation go into the agreement
- Execute: purchase contract, payment, export declaration, packing and shipping, overseas collection
- Settle and file: settle per the agreement and file contracts, invoices, customs declarations and bills of lading for you and your accountant
5. What business do you turn down?
Deals without a real buyer or real goods, requests for pass-through payments only, requests to buy or sell customs documents, anything meant to hide income or evade tax, and prohibited or sanctioned goods — we turn all of these down.
6. What should I prepare before contacting you?
Four things are enough to start: the product and rough quantity, destination and buyer's country, expected order value range, and your own identity or company details. Before we formally proceed, we will ask for full identity documents for both buyer and seller and draft contracts.
Got an order? Let's map out the route first
Every deal is reviewed case by case. We need to see a real buyer, real goods and full identity information before we start; fees and profit arrangements are assessed case by case and written into the agreement. Please also consult your own accountant on tax.
When you get in touch, please tell us the product category, destination, buyer's country and expected order value range.
Trade agency for markets outside New Zealand is handled directly from Hong Kong. Our two New Zealand corridors have their own sites: Chinese goods into New Zealand at CHGONZ.COM, New Zealand OEM into China at NZGOCH.COM.

What does a Hong Kong import and export trade agent do?
It acts as the contracting and collecting party through a Hong Kong company, buys goods outright and resells them, and coordinates a qualified Chinese exporter to declare the goods truthfully, so sales agents, traders and factories without an export licence can complete cross-border trade compliantly.
What import and export work has Forever Gain HK Holding done?
We have long handled China import and export trade for clients, mainly on the New Zealand corridor, covering Chinese goods into New Zealand and New Zealand food and marine ingredients into China; recently we also exported used lathes to Southeast Asia.
Do you act as a payment collector?
No. Simply receiving money for others and forwarding it is a remittance service, which in Hong Kong requires a Money Service Operator licence; we only do real trades where we buy the goods outright and the money is trade payment.
How much does a Hong Kong trade agent charge?
Fees are assessed case by case by product, order value and route, and written into the agreement.
What should I prepare for the first contact?
The product and rough quantity, destination and buyer's country, expected order value range, and your own identity or company details.
