Hong Kong: Promotion Opportunity - Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   HK2025-0023
The USDA Agricultural Trade Office (ATO) Hong Kong has partnered with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) to offer U.S. wine and distilled spirits companies and their local representatives special pricing on exhibition space as part of a USA Pavilion at the Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair from November 6 to 8, 2025. This report provides background on the promotion opportunity, costs, pavilion, and timelines. Hong Kong has not imposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural products, including wines and distilled spirits. Currently, beverages containing less than 30 percent alcohol by volume are not subject to duties. Beverages of more than 30 percent alcohol by volume are subject to 100 percent excise duty on the first $200 HKD (about $25 USD) in value and ten percent thereafter, unless the product is to be re-exported and not consumed in Hong Kong, in which case there is no excise duty.
