The jewelry industry in Hong Kong
The jewelry industry in Hong Kong is composed of both small and large companies, which typically work together under a subcontracting system: small and medium-sized companies and manufacturers provide services like molding, casting, gem setting, polishing, and others while larger companies are involved in retail, import, and export.
Hong Kong jewelers can build their own brand and
register their trademark. When opening their own business, investors in this business field can also consider handling distribution or start an online shopping business.
Some rules and regulations that apply to jewelry distributors are the general trade measures. Hong Kong has a general low tax regime and has a tariff-free policy wit Mainland China.
