Applications can be made in either paper or electronic mode.
 

Paper mode 

Applicants should complete an import or export strategic commodities licence application form and submit it together with the required supporting documents (e.g. technical information, specifications, catalogues or brochures of the goods) to the Integrated Customer Service Centre (address : Room 1324, 13/F, Trade and Industry Tower, 3 Concorde Road, Kowloon City, Hong Kong).  Upon submission, applicants will be given a receipt number for each licence application.
 

Electronic mode

By logging into their "E-Accounts" in this website, applicants can make use of the functions provided therein to prepare and file applications.  For each E-Application successfully made in the E-Accounts, the computer system will generate an acknowledgement and receipt immediately (for details of the special registration and use of E-Applications, please refer to Strategic Trade Controls Circular No.3/04).  Requirements for making "E-Applications" are basically no different from paper applications.  But the provision of such supporting documents are much more flexible, e.g. forwarded in electronic form together with the E-Applications, by fax or in person to the Integrated Customer Service Centre (address : Room 1324, 13/F, Trade and Industry Tower, 3 Concorde Road, Kowloon City, Hong Kong).  Applicants should state clearly in their E-Applications how each document would be forwarded to Trade and Industry Department.

Applicants should present the receipt at the Integrated Customer Service Centre (address : Room 1324, 13/F, Trade and Industry Tower, 3 Concorde Road, Kowloon City, Hong Kong) to collect the results of licence applications.
