Doing a steel project in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is in Eastern Asia. The capital is City of Victoria. Local currency: Hong Kong dollar (HKD).

Vietnam and Hong Kong are both parties to AHKFTA, so steel structures made in Vietnam can qualify for preferential tariffs under the rules of origin.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Hong Kong, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
