The Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Mr Chan Tsz-tat, today (December 22) led a delegation to attend the launching ceremony for the trial run of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Motor Vehicle Export Facilitation Scheme in Qianhai, Shenzhen. Other officiating guests included member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee and Director General of the Authority of Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Co-operation Zone of Shenzhen Municipality, Mr Wang Shourui, and the Director General in the Shenzhen Customs District, Mr Zheng Jugang.

     Following the successful trial run of the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Motor Vehicle Export Facilitation Scheme since June 30 this year, Hong Kong Customs has collaborated with the Shenzhen Customs District on a similar initiative to extend the facilitation scheme for the motor vehicle industry to include the land export of electric private cars from Chinese Mainland to Hong Kong.

     Under the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Motor Vehicle Export Facilitation Scheme, motor vehicle importers/distributors can submit advance information to Hong Kong Customs for pre-arrival notification and apply to relevant departments for a first registration tax concession on electric private cars that meet the eligibility criteria before shipping the vehicles to Hong Kong, thereby significantly enhancing overall logistical efficiency and convenience.
