Mixed containers and LCL
We load an average of 33 SKUs from 11 brands per container, and 73% of our containers carry 20 or more SKUs. Suitable for buyers who need many items in modest quantities.
1,760 cases per container on average
If your volume does not fill a full container, we can also arrange LCL consolidation with other shippers. We will advise which option works out better for your quantity.

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.
