Iran’s Chicken Feet Export to Hong Kong

The Hong Kong market is one of the most dynamic and stable trading hubs in East Asia
In recent years, Iran’s chicken feet exports to Hong Kong have experienced remarkable growth due to the rising demand for natural and processed protein products
Thanks to their high collagen content, excellent quality, and competitive pricing, Iranian chicken feet have gained a strong position among Hong Kong importers, becoming one of Iran’s most valuable non-oil export commodities.

Why Hong Kong Is an Attractive Market for Iranian Chicken Feet

Although Hong Kong enforces strict quality and food safety regulations, this presents a valuable opportunity for Iranian exporters to build international credibility through compliance with global standards.
Key reasons why Hong Kong is an attractive destination include

  1. Strong and consistent demand for poultry products: Chinese restaurants and food markets in Hong Kong are among the main consumers of chicken feet.

  2. Import-dependent economy: Over 90% of Hong Kong’s food supply is imported — an excellent opportunity for Iranian exporters.

  3. Efficient maritime access:

  4. Southern Iranian ports such as Bandar Abbas and Chabahar provide convenient and cost-effective shipping routes to Hong Kong via China.

Competitive Advantages of Iran’s Chicken Feet in the Hong Kong Market

  • Superior freezing quality: Iranian chicken feet are frozen and packaged at –18°C or lower under hygienic conditions.

  • Competitive pricing vs. Southeast Asian suppliers: Lower production and transport costs make Iranian exports more affordable for Hong Kong buyers.

  • Certified international standards: Iranian slaughterhouses hold Halal, ISO 22000, and HACCP certifications.

  • Flexible packaging options: Exporters can supply 5, 10, or 20 kg cartons based on buyer specifications.

Steps for Exporting Chicken Feet from Iran to Hong Kong

  1. Obtain export and veterinary permits from Iran’s Veterinary Organization.

  2. Conduct pre-freezing health inspections and quality checks.

  3. Secure Halal certification and international food safety approvals.

  4. Ship via refrigerated sea containers to Hong Kong Port.

  5. Customs clearance and cold storage delivery while maintaining the full cold chain.

Challenges in Exporting to Hong Kong

While the Hong Kong market offers great profit potential, exporters face certain challenges:

  • Stringent veterinary and laboratory testing requirements by Hong Kong authorities.

  • Rising maritime transport costs and currency fluctuations.

  • Strong competition from China, Vietnam, and Brazil.

  • Mandatory bilingual labeling (English and Chinese) and brand registration for official market entry.

Effective Strategies for Iranian Exporters

To succeed in the Hong Kong market, Iranian exporters should focus on:
  1. Building direct partnerships with Hong Kong importers instead of relying on intermediaries.
  2. Investing in B2B digital marketing through platforms like Ali baba and Made-in-China.
  3. Ensuring consistent quality across every shipment.
  4. Expanding export product lines — such as chicken feet powder and collagen extract for food and cosmetic industries.
Future Opportunities for Iran’s Chicken Feet Exports to Hong Kong
With the growing trade cooperation between Iran and China and Hong Kong’s role as a major re-export hub in East Asia, Iranian chicken feet exports are poised for substantial growth through bilateral trade agreements and improved banking channels.
Investing in export branding and participating in Asian food industry exhibitions can help Iran strengthen its long-term presence in this market.
Conclusion

The export of Iranian chicken feet to Hong Kong represents a significant step in the evolution of Iran’s non-oil trade.
High quality, compliance with food safety standards, reliable logistics, and competitive pricing have positioned Iran as a potential key supplier in this valuable market.
With strategic planning and adherence to Hong Kong’s strict trade and health requirements, Iranian exporters can secure a sustainable share of the East Asian protein market
