Dear Steno,

Suggest to set up a Hong Kong company to manage the import and have the logistics route from overseas through HK, then into Beijing. It will be easier for logisitics and commercial arrangements. In addition, the benefits of routing through HK goes beyond simplifying logistics and documentation, but also simplifies the company requirements restricted by a Beijing company over a HK company.

hi Alan,

We are interesed to import French wine to China but we have budget wine so price is very important to us. We need to minimize our import cost as much as possible. Can you explain how we can use HK as gateway to China and what would be our final cost? I understand HK has no import duty on wine, but what other other taxes? and can we then avoid China import duty and consumption and VAT taxes when import to China?

Can you email me directly to sam@jjhaas.com?

Thank you.

Hi All,

Thanks for the information.

If anyone can provide more information or interested in importing Australia red wine to china, please contact me : mingho67@gmail.com

China, the rapidly growing market become the third largest destination for Australian wine with sales shooting up to $201.5 million in 2011, behind only the major markets of the United States and the United Kingdom. China only began importing bottled wines in the last 15 years or so, and only in recent years, have consumers begun to develop a taste and preference for particular wine types that compliment food.

There are no licensing requirements for imported wines in China, nor any other controls. The import tariff rate for wine in less than 2 litre packaging has been lowered from 65% to 14%. Australia has done well to increase market share over the past few years in the face of increased competition, though still faces challenges from both new world countries such as Chile, (who have strong government sponsorship), New Zealand and the United States as well as old world countries such as France and Italy.

Hello

I am looking at importing wines from Europe.

I do not have a license but my business owner is Chinese.

Who do I need to contact to get this handled.

Australia has done well to increase market share over the past few years in the face of increased competition, though still faces challenges from both new world countries such as Chile, (who have strong government sponsorship), New Zealand and the United States as well as old world countries such as France and Italy. In China The import tariff rate for wine in less than 2 litre packaging has been lowered from 65% to 14%.

At the beginning of 2008, the Hong Kong Government announced the elimination of import duties on wine. This policy was favourable in stimulating more high quality wines to enter China through Hong Kong. It also meant that imported wine became more competitive with the domestic product. A consumption tariff rate of 10% and a value added tax (VAT) rate of 17% are also imposed on imported and domestic wine.

Food Safety Regulations New Food Safety laws were enacted on 1 June 2009 and are applicable to both imported and domestically produced food. Wine producers are now required to indicate a lot number on the body of wine bottles.

Hello,

Thanks to all for good information. My company currently sells American wines from Washington, Oregon and California to Southern China. We have made sales in the last few months into restaurants and attended several wine fairs/events to promote our brand. We are currently shipping a container of our wines into China.

However, even though we have made the sales, we have to use a Chinese company with import licensing and wine licenses to bring the wine into China. For future shipments we want to be able to control the entire process of exporting the wine from the US (which we can already do) and importing the wine into China to store in a temperature controlled warehouse for future orders.

What is the process for obtaining wine import licenses in China? How about licensing to sell the wine in China?  How long can we expect this process to take? If you are knowledgeable about this process or can connect me with someone who is, please contact me directly at aaron.hallerman@gmail.com. 

I am living in LA, I want to export red wines to china. Can I have you contact information, I may have questions to ask. Thank you!

for Aaron: We have found a number of detailed market reports on US wine export to different countries in the world including China. Please click here for reference.

The fact that Hong Kong levied their import tax in 2008 is a direct cause of the booming wine market in China.  China is now the 5th largest consumer of wine by total volume and 6th largest producer.  Exporting wine to China directly is much harder then to hong kong but it can be done. 

Your saying is interested, I am looking at exporting Australia red to shenzhen

and Hongkong, i deal with South Australia vineyard, the wine makers.

Regards

Rose
