Hong Kong Customs today (June 19) held an award presentation ceremony for the Elite Enterprise Partnership Award 2025 at the Customs Headquarters Building to commend 15 stakeholders of the logistics, intellectual property and other industries for their active co-operation and support of Customs. Established in 2022, this year marks the fourth round of the Award. Among the awardees this year, four have been presented with the award for four consecutive years, while eight are first-time awardees. Hong Kong Customs expresses sincere gratitude to every elite enterprise partner.

     At the ceremony, the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Mr Chan Tsz-tat, said that Hong Kong Customs, as the gatekeeper of Hong Kong, strives to intercept contrabands from entering or transhipping through Hong Kong. Despite the immense daily flow of people and goods, Hong Kong Customs, with the unfailing support from the industries, is confident in facing any challenges and maintains efficient enforcement. Meanwhile, Customs will continue to roll out various trade facilitation measures and proactively deepen the multilateral co-operation with other administrations, in its capacity as the Vice-Chair for the Asia/Pacific Region of the World Customs Organization, to formulate policies that will facilitate customs clearance. All these show Customs is committed to standing with industries in the face of different challenges and building a conducive business environment.

     The awardees this year came from various sectors, including express couriers, logistics companies, shipping agencies, container terminal operators, co-working space operators, and trademark representatives. The diversity of stakeholders showcases the close co-operation and connection between Customs and different enterprises. The department will continue to collaborate with industries and uphold the mission of safeguarding the gate of Hong Kong and facilitating legitimate trade.
