Speeding up customs clearance at ports to promote trade with Hong Kong
In the early hours of the morning, the scene of customs clearance for passengers and freight at Huanggang Port was still brightly lit, and joint inspection personnel such as customs, border inspection, inspection and quarantine were still busy. In 2003, the inspection at Huanggang Port began to implement 24-hour customs clearance. During the same period, the CEPA agreement was officially signed, and Mainland tourists went to Hong Kong and Macao for free.

The person in charge of Shenzhen Customs said that Shenzhen is an important base for processing and production of traditional industries by Hong Kong businessmen. After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the growth rate of Shenzhen's export of labor-intensive products to Hong Kong has been significantly lower than the average level of overall exports to Hong Kong during the same period, and its share of the total export value to Hong Kong fell from 28.5% in the year of return to 5.4% in 2016.
It is worth mentioning that despite the great changes in the foreign trade structure of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the lively "green lifeline" for Hong Kong is as always. Mr. Peng of Chao Kee Foods (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. has been engaged in chicken, duck, goose and pork products for more than 30 years. He told reporters that the company he runs has farms and processing farms in Huizhou, Haifeng and Bobai, Guangxi and other places, and supplies a large number of Hong Kong chicken, duck, goose and pork products every day.

Today, vegetables, live animals, and other food materials supplied to Hong Kong from the Man Kam To Port alone account for more than 85% of the Hong Kong market supply. According to statistics from Wenjindu Customs, in 2016 alone, Wenjindu Customs inspected and released 2.219 million tons of live products for Hong Kong, a year-on-year increase of 3.2%, with a total value of US $ 5.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 9.5%, which effectively protected the livelihood needs of Hong Kong.
