Surplus of $5.2B (net exporter)
The United States imported $319.4M/month and exported $5.5B/month with Hong Kong as of April 2026, covering 1207 product categories.
In April 2026, the U.S. ran a monthly goods trade surplus of $5.2B with Hong Kong, exporting 17.3× as much as it imported. U.S. goods imports from Hong Kong of $319.4M in April 2026 ran 38% above the year-to-date monthly average of $231.8M.
Hong Kong has historically been treated as a separate customs territory from mainland China under US trade law, though this status has been subject to significant policy changes following the 2020 National Security Law. The US revoked Hong Kong's special trade status in 2020, meaning Hong Kong-origin goods no longer receive preferential treatment distinct from Chinese goods, and export controls have been tightened. Trade professionals must carefully assess country-of-origin determinations and applicable export licensing requirements for shipments involving Hong Kong.

The US revoked Hong Kong's special trade status in 2020 via Executive Order 13936. Hong Kong-origin goods are now treated the same as Chinese-origin goods for most trade purposes, including tariffs under Section 301.
The Commerce Department eliminated license exceptions for Hong Kong that were previously available for China, meaning exports to Hong Kong now require the same licenses as exports to mainland China for controlled items under the EAR.
Goods transshipped through Hong Kong without substantial transformation retain their original country of origin. CBP scrutinizes Hong Kong transshipments closely to prevent circumvention of China-origin tariffs, and importers should maintain robust supply chain documentation.
