Application for the Registration of a Pesticide REGISTRATION Only pesticides that have been registered in Hong Kong may be freely distributed and used in Hong Kong. Under the Pesticides Register, maintained by the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation, details of registered pesticides, including the active ingredient(s), concentration limit and permitted formulations, are entered. Individual products do not have to be registered as long as they contain the registered active ingredient and conform to the specified maximum concentration of active ingredient(s) and permitted formulation detailed in the register. The pesticide register is in two parts. Pesticides registered in Part I are ready-for-use domestic pesticides and those in Part II are all other pesticides.
