9 November 2020Requirements on Marking of Goods Produced in Hong Kong and Exported to the U.S.

Effective 9 November 2020, goods produced in Hong Kong SAR and exported to the U.S. should no longer be marked to indicate ‘Hong Kong’ as origin on the packaging, but must be marked to indicate ‘China’ as origin. In the Commercial Invoice, shippers should still indicate ‘Hong Kong’ as the Country of Origin, as goods exported from Hong Kong SAR are still subject to Hong Kong’s duties.
It is essential for shippers to comply with the new labeling requirements to prevent potential penalties and/or delays in customs clearance
