Hong Kong Customs fully supports Central Government's resumption of multiple-entry Individual Visit Scheme for Shenzhen (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Assistant Commissioner (Boundary and Ports) of the Hong Kong Customs, Ms Wong Wai-chuen, today (November 29) led a delegation to Shenzhen to attend a meeting with representatives of the Shenzhen Customs District to discuss how to tie in with the Central Government's new arrangement on the resumption of the multiple-entry Individual Visit Scheme for Shenzhen starting December 1, and to enhance co-operation items and development between the two customs administrations.

     During the meeting, both sides explored ways to enhance the management of clearance at control points and continue deepening co-operation with a view to making full preparation and co-ordination for the smooth operation of control points, thereby providing visitors with a pleasant travel experience and further facilitating passenger flows between the two places.

     Hong Kong Customs will continue to strengthen communication with the Shenzhen Customs District and other government departments, co-ordinating on matters such as security and order, transportation arrangement, and emergency response at the land boundary control points. A series of contingency measures for passenger clearance has been formulated to accommodate the inflow of tourists travelling to Hong Kong. The department will flexibly deploy manpower, conduct real-time monitoring and notification of the situation of each control point, and take contingency actions where necessary to ensure the smooth operation of Customs clearance, thereby creating favourable conditions for the new arrangement.
