Practical points for importing into Hong Kong

01Importers and distributors must be registered with the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD).
02Labels must be in Chinese or English (or both), showing the food name, list of ingredients, net quantity, a "best before" or "use by" date, storage instructions, and the name and address of the manufacturer or packer.
03The 8 allergen categories and the "1+7" nutrition labeling rules differ from Japan’s; original Japanese labels usually need relabeling.
04Chilled and frozen goods have different documentation requirements. Dairy and processed meat may need additional permits; alcohol falls under Hong Kong Customs and requires a separate procedure.

Note: regulations change. Please confirm current requirements with the relevant authority and your customs broker. We prepare the export documents and can obtain certificates of origin.
