Do you still cherish an "old wine" at home but feel uneasy about its origin and legality? In Hong Kong, the possession and disposal of tiger bone wine is a complex and serious issue.

The Historical Trajectory of Tiger Bone Wine: From Traditional Treasure to Legal Prohibitions
Tiger bone wine was once considered a precious tonic in many traditional Asian cultures, believed to strengthen bones and muscles and relieve rheumatism. Its history can be traced back hundreds of years, and it was considered a symbol of status and wealth during certain periods. However, with the advancement of times and the growing global awareness of endangered species protection, the fate of tiger bone wine underwent a fundamental change.
The most crucial turning point was the signing and entry into force of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This international convention aims to regulate or even prohibit international trade in endangered animals and plants and their products to protect these species from extinction. As a protected endangered species, tigers and their products (including tiger bones) are strictly listed in Appendix I, meaning that their international trade has been completely banned.
Strict Regulation under Hong Kong Law: Is Possession a Risk?
As a member of the international community, Hong Kong strictly adheres to the CITES Convention and has incorporated relevant regulations into local law. According to Hong Kong's Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Cap. 586), any trade in endangered species, including the import, export, re-export, possession, or handling of Appendix I species products (such as tigers), is strictly regulated.
This means that even if tiger bone wine was legally purchased or inherited many years ago, its possession and transfer in Hong Kong today may still face legal risks. Unless it can be proven that the tiger bone wine was legally acquired before the relevant laws came into effect and that the holder has obtained a license from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, unauthorized possession or handling of tiger bone wine may constitute a criminal offense, potentially leading to hefty fines or even imprisonment. Therefore, understanding and complying with Hong Kong's relevant laws is the responsibility of every citizen.
