B/L showing port of dischg as 'Hong kong Port'. Does it constitue a disp.? Appreciate yr comments. Thanks. ———————- ANSWER Hi, Hereunder is my comment to a similar question in DCPRO in 2009: QuoteDespite the fact that Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China and practising “One Country Two System” with high degree of autonomy, I do believe China will strongly protest if anyone says Hong Kong now does not belong to China. Hong Kong is part of China. So, if L/C requires shipment to be effected from any Chinese port, B/L showing on board at Hong Kong is acceptable.Unquote.Best regards,Mr. Old Man
