Frequently Asked Questions
FIPMS is an online platform to facilitate the competent authorities of the exporting countries/places in uploading required documents related to the applications for (a) establishing import protocol for Game, Meat, Poultry and Eggs (GMPE) with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR); and (b) new establishments under the plant-based import protocol. It also allows the authorities to view their established import protocols through the system.
The FIPMS serves as a centralised database which enables users to view the current situation of the established import protocols and other related information. It also allows the users to upload files in various sizes (maximum size of each file not more than 200MB) via the platform during the applications for import protocols and new establishments under the plant-based import protocol.
To maintain system security, only officials from the Consulate General or the food regulatory authority responsible for the application of new import protocols and/or managing established import protocols for GMPE are allowed to open an FIPMS account.
When an exporting country/place intends to create new FIPMS account(s), officials from the Consulate General or the food regulatory authority can send the request to cfsfipms@fehd.gov.hk with the name, organisation name and email address of the proposed user(s) for CFS's processing.
