Hong Kong Customs Clearance Process for Meat & Meat Products

Hong Kong's customs clearance for meat and meat products is governed by strict food safety laws and import regulations . BETTERluck Shipping streamlines this complex process into 6 clear steps, ensuring your cargo passes through customs efficiently:

Step 1: Pre-Clearance Documentation Preparation

Before your cargo arrives in Hong Kong, we collect and verify all mandatory documents to avoid delays: Valid import license issued by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) of Hong Kong .Health certificate issued by the recognized authority of the exporting country/region, confirming the meat meets safety standards .Bill of lading (B/L) or air waybill (AWB), including detailed information about the cargo, origin, and consignee.Business registration certificate of the importer/exporter.Transshipment confirmation certificate (if applicable) issued by Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department for cargo bound for Mainland China .Step 2: Cargo Arrival & Manifest SubmissionOnce your meat products arrive at Hong Kong's ports (Kwai Tsing Container Terminal) or airport (Hong Kong International Airport), we submit the cargo manifest to Hong Kong Customs and FEHD via the Trade Single Window platform . This step ensures authorities are notified of the cargo's arrival and can schedule necessary inspections.

Step 3: Customs Declaration & Inspection Application

Our professional customs brokers file the formal customs declaration, including details such as cargo value, quantity, and HS codes (e.g., 0201 for beef, 0203 for pork). Depending on the cargo type and origin, Hong Kong Customs or FEHD may require a mandatory inspection to verify compliance with food safety and quarantine regulations.

Step 4: Inspection & Compliance Verification

Inspections typically focus on: Matching the cargo with the submitted documentation (no tampering or mislabeling).Temperature control during transportation and storage.Absence of prohibited substances or contaminants.With our pre-verification process, 95% of our clients' cargo passes inspection on the first attempt. In case of minor issues, we work closely with authorities to resolve them promptly.

Step 5: Duty Payment (If Applicable)

Hong Kong is a duty-free port for most meat products, but certain processed meat items may be subject to specific taxes. We calculate the exact duty amount (if any) and assist with secure payment to Hong Kong Customs to expedite the release process.

Step 6: Cargo Release & Handover

Upon successful inspection and duty payment (if required), Hong Kong Customs issues the cargo release order. We then coordinate the immediate transfer of your meat products to our temperature-controlled storage facilities or directly to the designated transportation vehicle for delivery to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or other destinations.
