NOTE: USDA Export Mark: Exporters may apply the FSIS-issued USDA export mark (e.g. hand stamp or computer-generated sticker) to 1) each outside container within a consignment, 2) a securely enclosed pallet or pallets within the consignment (e.g. shrink-wrapped or other effective means), or 3) the closed means of conveyance transporting the consignment (e.g. rail car, air, ocean container, truck). The USDA export mark bears the export certificate number, and links a consignment to its corresponding export certificate.

Labeling Requirements
Poultry products that are compliant with Hong Kong requirements and arrive with required FSIS health certificate(s) will be allowed entry irrespective of carton labels with a China reference.
Documentation Requirements
All FSIS export certificates accompanying the product must be signed by a FSIS veterinarian. The veterinary degree (DVM or equivalent) must be indicated after the signature.
Hong Kong requires that the state of refrigeration at the time of certification be indicated in the "PRODUCT DESCRIPTION" block of FSIS Form 9060-5 (block 10). For example, a product labeled as "chicken leg quarters" must be entered as "frozen chicken leg quarters" when the product is shipped frozen. The term frozen may be entered in the block if the product is frozen at the time of export inspection even if "frozen" is not part of the product name. Should fresh product be shipped, (e.g. air shipment) the term "chilled" would be used.
All FSIS certificates must include the species under product description
- Uncooked poultry, poultry paws, and poultry - Obtain FSIS 9060-5, Meat and Poultry Certificate of Wholesomeness, and an FSIS Letterhead Certificate with the additional statements.
In addition, slaughter dates in month/year format must be included in the Remarks section of FSIS 9060-5. Date ranges are acceptable. - Fully cooked poultry and poultry products (heat processed according to the Poultry Processing Requirements above) - Obtain FSIS 9060-5, Meat and Poultry Certificate of Wholesomeness..
- Ostrich meat - Obtain FSIS Form 9060-5, Meat and Poultry Certificate of Wholesomeness. Exporters must present the scientific name of the bird to show that it is not from endangered species along with certification from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and FSIS Form 9060-5 to the Hong Kong Department of Food and Environmental Hygiene for import approval.
Other Requirements
- Products may be subjected to laboratory examination, as the Hong Kong officials reserve the right to sample for microbiological examination and refuse entry to unsatisfactory product.
- Ship Stores: All meat and poultry products exported to ship stores must comply with the export requirements for Hong Kong.
- Hermetically sealed (canned) chicken broth - Hong Kong does not require health certification (FSIS Form 9060-5) for this product. Caution: Exporters should be aware that the product will not be able to move into any other country that requires export certification if the documents are not issued prior to leaving the U.S.
Effective February 14, 2025, only those U.S. establishments that slaughter, process, store or export meat and/or poultry products, that are approved by Hong Kong and added to the U.S.’ posted Hong Kong Eligible Establishment List can export to Hong Kong.
Prior to the effective date of February 14, 2025, all U.S. federally inspected establishments are eligible to export meat and poultry products to Hong Kong. FSIS IPP are to continue certifying exports to Hong Kong as usual until February 14, 2024, at which time the new FSIS Hong Kong Eligible Establishment List becomes effective.
Exporters interested in being added to the Hong Kong Eligible Establishment List should continue submitting 9080-3 export applications for review and approval. FSIS will continue to provide Hong Kong an updated establishment list monthly. FSIS will update the Hong Kong Eligible Establishment List upon notification from Hong Kong of approved establishments.
At this time, Hong Kong has not provided FSIS with its requirements for accepting new U.S. certified establishment lists after February 14, 2025. FSIS will provide updates once it has received this information.*
