The General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong Customs completed the extension of Mainland-Hong Kong "Single Submission for Dual Declaration" Scheme on cargo on 19th May 2025. The scheme has been extended to include all cargo exported from Hong Kong to the Mainland via all land boundary control points, thereby providing comprehensive coverage of road cargo clearance between both places. This enables more enterprises to benefit from the completion of Customs declarations for both the Mainland and Hong Kong sides by making a single submission of road cargo information.

For details, please visit "User Manual" or call 3669 0000.

Hong Kong Customs called on you to report suspected smuggling activities to the Customs by calling the 24-hour reporting hotline (852) 182 8080 or emailing (crimereport@customs.gov.hk).
