Hong Kong: Import Regulations on Alcoholic Drinks to Hong Kong and Macau

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This report provides general guidelines on import regulations for alcoholic beverages to Hong Kong and Macau. Spirits exports to Hong Kong and Macau are subject to an import duty, but wine and beer are not. Hong Kong exempts beverages with more than a 10 percent alcohol content from Hong Kong’s labeling requirements, but requires that the alcohol content be stated on the product. In Macau, beverages with alcoholic content over five percent are exempt from Macau’s labeling requirements, which are mandatory for all prepackaged food products. To facilitate wine re-exports from Hong Kong to Mainland China, a “Cooperation Arrangement on Customs Facilitation Measures for Wine Entering the Mainland through Hong Kong" ("Customs Facilitation Arrangement") exists. This trade facilitation measure has been extended to all ports in all 42 Customs Districts in Mainland China.
