HFMA Forms and Information
are now Available to you on the Web!
Please remember, the DOA requires a completed evaluation form before it reimburses the HFMA for trade shows. Therefore, you need to forward the form to us before we can submit the reimbursement request to the state and reimburse you once we receive the funds.
To make it easier for you, we have now put the evaluation form on the web in Adobe PDF format. You can fill out the form ON SCREEN!, print and fax or send it to us. What could be quicker in helping you get your reimbursement as soon as possible.

Steve Geimer has been working with various freight companies to find a Special Rate for HFMA Members to ship dry (not chilled) freight from Honolulu to the Mainland. DHX (Dependable Hawaiian Express) has come up with a Special HFMA rate that is really good for LCL (Less then Container Load) dry shipments.
The rate is $2.94 per cubic foot to either Los Angeles or Oakland. That rate includes Will Call (drop off) at the Sand Island Terminal, Will Call at either the Oakland or Los Angles dock, wharfage and ocean freight. Fuel surcharge is extra. There is a $40 minimum charge for the $2.94 rate (about 14 cubic ft.), so your price/cubic foot will be higher if you ship less than 14 cubic feet. So now you can quote your products FOB LA or Oakland.
The ships sail every Friday for LA and/or Oakland. Will Call Cut Off to deliver your freight to DHX on Sand Island is 4:00 pm on Wednesday for the following Friday sail. DHX can also pick your freight up for an extra charge. DHX is also making a special consideration for neighbor island pick up at Young Brothers on Oahu. Call Kim Castillo at DHX 841-7311 Extension 102 to schedule freight or to obtain more information about this HFMA Special Rate. Also, DHX will soon be providing approximate rates to major cities on the mainland. Steve is developing a plan that will help companies combine their smaller shipments to get the lower rate.
Call Steve at 591-9103 for more details and to let him know what cities on the mainland you are interested in shipping to.
