Dried Galangal Slices for Buyers in Hong Kong
Give your Hong Kong customer an accurate slice reference and an unambiguous food description. Separate visual presentation from the requirements of a cooking process.
Use One Reference Across the Trading Chain
For a repacker, assess how a representative mix looks in the intended pack. Do not select only the largest pieces. For a kitchen customer, record the preparation and whether the slices are removed after use. Pass those observations back through the distributor with the same sample ID.
Where Chinese and English wording are both used, approve both against "Alpinia galanga, dried slices". An ambiguous common name is not a botanical identity.
If sample comments come back through a distributor, request the final customer's actual observations, not only a pass or fail. Ask whether the concern was size, fragments, preparation, or presentation. Attach the approved product wording to that response. A translation difference is then not mistaken for a complaint about the physical ingredient.
Confirm the Hong Kong Trading Arrangements
CFS publishes the food importer and distributor registration process. Ask the responsible business to review its position and the actual food movement. A slice sample accepted by a customer does not settle that administrative question.

Name the Hong Kong business responsible for import or distribution and any onward destination.
Questions Before Ordering
Can the Distributor Use Its Own Product Name?
Yes, for the trade name. The distributor supplies the wording for review, and the technical description keeps the botanical identity and form.
Are Visually Selected Slices the Same as Every Bulk Lot?
No. We do not guarantee that. Define the representative acceptance range and discuss what can be supplied for the proposed order.
