The Hong Kong strategic trade control lists are based on the controls adopted by the various international export control regimes and conventions, and are updated regularly:

The Hong Kong strategic trade control lists, which contain goods for which a licence is required for importing into/ exporting out of Hong Kong, are set out in the four Schedules (i.e. 1, 2, 3 and 4) to the Import and Export (Strategic Commodities) Regulations.  Please click here for more details.

Traders can make use of our Department's Pre-Classification Service to check if their products are strategic commodities, and relevant information on applying import and export licences.  Please click here for more details.

For common dual-use products, traders may also make use of our Department's search engine to enquire their control status.
