Application Procedures for OPA Registration

  1. Manufacturers should complete and return the application form (TID 121) by the following means:
    - through the e-Form Submission Service;
    - by fax (fax no.: 2787 6048);
    - by email (email address: fr_section@tid.gov.hk);
    - by post (address: Factory Registration and Origin Certification Branch, 14/F, Trade and Industry Tower, 3 Concorde Road, Kowloon City, Hong Kong); or
    - in person, including by courier (address: Information Counter, Integrated Customer Service Centre, Room 1324, 13/F, Trade and Industry Tower, 3 Concorde Road, Kowloon City, Hong Kong).
  2. Provided there being no complications, the application for OPA registration will be approved within one clear working day.
  3. The Manufacturer's Authorised Signatories (MAS) as recorded in Factory Registration (FR) will be the authorised persons to sign or make amendment on OPA Combined Forms for and on behalf of the manufacturer. The names of the MAS will be printed on the OPA Registration Card ("Card"). For manufacturers who wish to receive the electronic Card, the Department will issue the endorsed Card to them by email. For those who wish to receive the Card in hard copy, the Department will contact them for the arrangements to collect a set of 10 laminated Cards in person. Manufacturers should take good care of the Cards issued to them since the Cards underpin manufacturers' eligibility for participating in the OPA.
  4. In the event that the amendment necessitates the re-issue of the Cards, or once the FR is cancelled, manufacturers must return all its Cards to the Department immediately.
