Dairy Products Hong Kong Airport Customs Clearance, Pickup, Warehousing & Delivery | BETTERluck Shipping

Why BETTERluck Shipping Stands Out for Dairy Logistics in Hong Kong

• Hong Kong Airport Customs Expertise: We master the latest regulations of Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) and Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) for dairy imports. Our team ensures 100% compliance with food safety standards, including residue testing and origin verification, cutting clearance time by 40%.

• End-to-End Temperature-Controlled Chain: From airport pickup to final delivery, our entire logistics network maintains precise temperature ranges (customizable for different dairy types). We use GPS-monitored refrigerated vehicles, insulated containers, and temperature-logging devices—ensuring a 0% quality degradation rate for your shipments.

• Fast Airport Pickup & Clearance: With a dedicated team stationed at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), we complete cargo pickup within 2 hours of flight arrival. Our electronic declaration system enables customs clearance in 1-3 working days, far exceeding the industry average.

• One-Stop Proxy Services: Lack a Hong Kong-based consignee, import license, or food safety certification? We provide full proxy services, handling all legal formalities to eliminate entry barriers.

• Flexible Warehousing Solutions: Our Hong Kong and Guangzhou warehouses offer bonded storage, cold storage, and cross-docking services. We support batch picking, repackaging, and inventory management—ideal for both bulk imports and retail distribution.

• Real-Time Shipment Tracking: Our digital platform lets you monitor temperature, clearance status, and delivery progress 24/7. Instant alerts are sent for any deviations, ensuring full transparency.

Dairy Products Hong Kong Airport Customs Clearance Process

1. Pre-Clearance Preparation (2-3 Days Before Arrival): Our team verifies all required documents (see checklist below) and confirms temperature requirements for your dairy type. We submit pre-arrival declarations to Hong Kong C&ED and FEHD to accelerate clearance—critical for perishable goods.

2. Airport Pickup & Temperature Check: Upon your dairy shipment’s arrival at HKIA, our on-site team retrieves the cargo immediately. We conduct a temperature audit using the shipment’s built-in logger and transfer it to our refrigerated vehicles (maintaining the required temperature range) to prevent quality loss.

3. Customs Declaration & Inspection Application: We submit electronic declarations via Hong Kong’s Trade Single Window (TSW), including shipment details, origin information, and safety certificates. We then apply for FEHD’s food safety inspection—mandatory for all dairy products.

4. Food Safety Inspection & Sampling (If Required): FEHD inspectors verify the dairy products’ freshness, packaging integrity, and compliance with Hong Kong’s Food Safety Ordinance. Random sampling may be conducted for microbiological testing (typically 1-2 working days for urgent shipments). Our pre-approval process ensures 99% of inspections pass on the first attempt.

5. Customs Release & Duty Handling: After inspection approval, Hong Kong Customs issues a release notice. As a free trade port, most dairy products enter Hong Kong duty-free, but we handle any applicable levies (e.g., for specific subsidized products) and coordinate payment on your behalf.

6. Warehousing & Final Delivery: We transport the cleared dairy products to our temperature-controlled warehouse for storage or directly to your designated location—whether in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, or Southeast Asia. Our cross-border logistics team handles mainland customs clearance seamlessly if needed.
