Hong Kong Customs Clearance Process for Aquatic Products & Derivatives

1. Pre-Declaration Preparation (Before Goods Arrive at Hong Kong Airport)

• Document Collection & Review: We collect core documents including commercial invoice (with detailed description of aquatic products, quantity, unit price, total price), packing list (indicating net weight, gross weight, and packaging method), air waybill, certificate of origin, health certificate issued by the exporting country/region, and temperature record certificate for frozen products. Our professionals review the completeness and accuracy of the documents to avoid errors such as inconsistent product descriptions or incomplete certificates.

• Determine Declaration Mode: According to the type, quantity, and purpose of your aquatic products, we select the most suitable declaration mode:        General Trade Declaration: Applicable to large quantities of imported/exported aquatic products, processed aquatic products that need to pay taxes (if applicable), or goods requiring import licenses.

• Transshipment Declaration: For aquatic products transiting through Hong Kong to third countries/regions, we handle transshipment notices and bill of lading copies, ensuring no Hong Kong customs duties are incurred while complying with the origin rules of the destination country.

2. Customs Declaration & Review (After Goods Arrive)

• Formal Declaration Submission: We supplement the formal air waybill and on-site inspection materials to the e-Customs system, completing the formal declaration. The system supports 24-hour operation, ensuring no delay in the declaration process due to time factors.

• Customs Review: Hong Kong Customs conducts automatic review and manual sampling review of aquatic products:        Automatic Review: The system compares the declared information with risk rules. Low-risk aquatic products with complete documents and consistent information are automatically released, usually completing the review within 1-2 hours.

• Manual Inspection: For high-risk goods (such as high-value aquatic products or goods with special quarantine requirements), customs will conduct on-site inspection, focusing on checking whether the goods' description, quantity, and temperature are consistent with the declared information, and whether they carry prohibited substances or meet safety standards. Our team will be on-site to cooperate, providing supplementary explanations and materials to speed up the inspection process.

3. Quarantine & Tax Payment (If Applicable)

• Quarantine Inspection: Cooperating with Hong Kong Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and relevant quarantine institutions, we complete sampling and testing of aquatic products. For fresh and live aquatic products, we prioritize the quarantine process to ensure their survival rate. Under the "Air-Land Fresh Products Dedicated Express Line" policy, the quarantine process for qualified goods is significantly simplified.

• Tax Calculation & Payment: Hong Kong exempts most imported goods from customs duties, and aquatic products are generally not subject to customs duties. Only in special cases (such as processed aquatic products containing alcohol) may corresponding consumption taxes be involved. We calculate the tax amount accurately and complete the payment on your behalf, providing detailed tax vouchers.

4. Release & Delivery Arrangement

• Goods Pickup at Airport: Our on-site team quickly picks up the goods at Hong Kong Airport's cargo area and transfers them to the dedicated cold chain warehouse or directly loads them into the temperature-controlled vehicle to avoid temperature loss during the transfer process.

• Seamless Connection to Logistics: According to your needs, we immediately connect to the logistics line to Guangzhou/Shenzhen or other cities, realizing the "clearance + transportation" one-stop service without waiting.
