Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Customs jointly build Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Customs Clearance Information Platform (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

�The Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Ms Louise Ho; the Director General of the Guangdong Sub-Administration of the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC), Mr Li Kuiwen; and the Director-General of the Macao Customs Service, Mr Vong Man-chong, signed the "Co-operative Arrangement on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Customs Clearance Information Platform" in Hong Kong today (June 12), officially commencing the work of setting up the Information Platform.

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Customs Clearance Information Platform (Information Platform) is one of the key initiatives under the Co-operative Arrangement on Smart Customs Development between the GACC and Hong Kong Customs. It will disseminate information about Customs regulations, announcements, customs clearance guidelines, enforcement cases, etc, of the three Customs authorities to members of the public through an Internet site and a mobile application. Also, the Information Platform will provide a one-stop enquiry service, such as real-time customs clearance information, for passengers and the transportation industry to enhance the efficiency of cross-boundary flow of people and cargo in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). The three Customs administrations will continue to optimise the functions and expand the scope of services of the platform to promote the connectivity within the GBA.

A delegation of the Guangdong Sub-Administration of the GACC on the same morning visited the West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link to learn about Hong Kong Customs' passengers clearance operations. They will also visit the Hong Kong Customs College, the Customs Marine Base on Stonecutters Island and the Shenzhen Bay Port tomorrow (June 13) to understand the work about staff training, cargo and passenger clearance and maritime enforcement.
