Made in Hong Kong

Under Supplement X to CEPAs signed in 2013, products of Hong Kong origin would enjoy zero tariffs when entering the Mainland. Such a preference was intended to provide a significant competitive edge for Hong Kong manufacturers. According to statistics over 1,700 types of “Made in Hong Kong” products had come under this category by the end of 2013. In March 2014 during Legislative Council deliberations, mention was made of the gradual rise of a new local generation of industrialists and the resurgence of Hong Kong’s manufacturing industry. In order to support this on-going policy, our certification center has developed a new product certification scheme called “Product made in Hong Kong”, due to be launched in June this year.

Products that are manufactured or assembled in Hong Kong can apply, however, following criteria have to meet:

1. Business concerned must be a registered legal entity in Hong Kong;
2. Manufacturing facilities have to be installed and operated on Hong Kong premises;
3. Natural products of Hong Kong which have been grown or mined in Hong Kong or produced in Hong Kong e.g. farming, fishing;
4. MMade or major manufacturing or assembly, and final quality control done in Hong Kong i.e. jewelry ; but
5. Processes such as simple diluting, packing, bottling, drying, simple assembling, sorting or decorating etc. are not regarded as genuine manufacturing processes.

The scheme adopts a “product-oriented” certification program. HKCC will perform initial and periodic production site assessment and document review to assure the major manufacturing processes are done in Hong Kong.

“STC Certified” Mark

The Mark is a product quality certification mark. It helps consumers to identify, at a glance, that the product has been certified by HKCC according to relevant local and international standards. To ensure it represents the best quality mark in the market, type-testing and regular market surveillance are the key areas controlled by this scheme.
