Hong Kong to implement new raw meat and poultry import protocol

Hong Kong to implement new raw meat and poultry import protocol

Under the new import protocol, US slaughtering, cutting, processing and cold storage facilities seeking to export raw meat and poultry products to Hong Kong must be registered with CFS prior to export. 

US slaughtering, cutting, processing, and cold storage facilities are encouraged to review the CFS list of US establishments to verify all company information is current and accurate. 

Registration is only required for raw meat and poultry products. Cooked and further processed products, such as ham, bacon, sausages and canned meat, are not subject to the new import protocol requirements.
