When exported to the United States, the country of origin must be marked as "China" and the label "Made in Hong Kong" must not be used. The relevant measures have been postponed. On the 45th, it will be implemented from November to September.

The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Yau Tenghua, stated earlier that the arrangement did not accept and strongly opposed the arrangement. The Hong Kong government expressed Hong Kong’s position at the previous WTO General Council, referring to the US decision, ignoring the fact that Hong Kong is an independent customs territory. It also imposes unnecessary burdens and difficulties on the Hong Kong and American business community, causing confusion among American consumers.

The time is getting closer and closer. The Hong Kong government has repeatedly stated that it does not accept and strongly opposes it. In the previous WTO General Council, it clearly expressed Hong Kong’s position, referring to the US’s decision and ignoring the fact that Hong Kong is an independent customs territory. It also imposes unnecessary burdens and difficulties on the Hong Kong and American business community, causing confusion among American consumers.

The Hong Kong government pointed out earlier that the relevant labeling requirements should specify the recognized origin, and once again urge the United States to fulfill its commitments and responsibilities as a WTO member, and take necessary actions to ensure compliance with WTO rules. The Hong Kong government is determined to defend its legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the WTO dispute settlement mechanism.
