Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office

[citation needed] In the United Kingdom, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Act 1996[4] conferred a number of personal immunity and tax privileges on the HKETO in London.

For instance, the HKETO in Toronto is accredited by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada under the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Privileges and Immunities Order,[6] and HKETO in Sydney by the Overseas Missions (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1995.

In countries or territories where no HKETO is present, diplomatic missions of China have the duty to represent Hong Kong's interests.

The privileges and immunities granted to the HKETOs are the result of negotiations with the host governments and these vary from one office to another.

In some cases, the host governments (such as the United Kingdom, Australia[10] and Germany) have granted certain privileges and immunities to the HKETOs through dedicated domestic legislation.
