Delayed / Damaged Baggage

i) Delayed Baggage

If your baggage does not come off the conveyor belt, please file a report with our Baggage Services Counter located at the Arrival Hall, prior to customs clearance. Our staff or handling agent will try our best to help.

If you have filed a report already, you can use the file reference (eg HKGCX12345) to trace your baggage online. Just click on the WORLDTRACER website.

ii) Damaged Baggage

If your baggage is damaged, please file a report with our Baggage Services Counter located at the Arrival Hall, prior to customs clearance. Our staff or handling agent will arrange repairing services and provide you assistance.

You can also contact our Baggage Services directly in your particular country / territory.

iii) Notice of Claim

In case of delay or damage to baggage moving in international transportation, a complaint must be made in writing to us. You can download the Baggage Claim Form here.

Upon completion, please return the form to us as soon as possible by mail to the address printed on the Property Irregularity Report, together with copies of your passenger tickets, baggage claim tags, excess baggage tickets, purchase receipts etc.

You can also contact our Baggage Services directly in your particular country / territory.

If you have private insurance coverage for your baggage, a claim should also be lodged with your insurance company.

iv) Notice of Baggage Liability Limitations

Liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles.

For many international journeys (including domestic portions of international journeys), the Warsaw Convention may apply with liability limits of approximately US$9.07 per pound (US$20.00 per kilo) for checked baggage and US$400.00 per passenger for unchecked baggage. In some cases, where the Montreal Convention applies to your journey, the applicable liability limit is 1,000 special drawing rights (approximately US$1,375) per passenger for checked and unchecked baggage.

We are not liable for loss of, damage to or delay in the delivery of fragile or perishable items, keys, artwork, cameras, money, jewellery, precious metals, silverware, medicines, drug, dangerous goods, commercial goods, odd-sized articles, negotiable papers, securities, or other valuables, business documents, passports and other identification documents, or samples, which are included in your Checked Baggage.
