Hong Kong\u2019s unique political situation as an autonomous city-state initially called for specially tailored laws and regulations governing items imported into the United States. For more than 20 years the US recognized the separation between China and Hong Kong, evidenced by the requirements to distinguish between the two. Additionally, in light of the Section 301 investigation of China\u2019s acts, policies, and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation; as well as the regime\u2019s human rights and forced labor abuses, the United States is especially keen on identifying items produced in China."}
