The Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Ms Louise Ho, today (October 30) met with the Director General in Shenzhen Customs District, Mr Zheng Jugang, in the Customs Headquarters Building (CHB) to exchange views on further deepening co-operation between the two Customs administrations.
      
     Ms Ho welcomed Mr Zheng's visit to Hong Kong Customs with his delegation and chaired a meeting with the delegation. During the meeting, the two Customs administrations discussed multiple issues, including refining the point-to-point express co-operation and liaison between Shenzhen and Hong Kong Land Boundary Control Points, strengthening information exchange and mutual assistance in law enforcement amongst boundary control points, combating smuggling activities of parallel traders, mounting joint operations in fighting against cross-boundary crimes, improving the prevention and control of risks, and promoting the Single E-lock Scheme.
      
     Ms Ho said that Hong Kong Customs will continue to promote and deepen high-level collaboration with the Shenzhen Customs District in different areas, thereby enhancing the enforcement capabilities of both administrations and contributing to the developments of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the country.
      
     The delegation today also toured the CHB Exhibition Gallery and Customs Computer Forensic Laboratory to learn about the department's historical developments, key functions and work on tackling advanced technology crimes.
