A number of land cross-boundary control points are currently suspending passenger clearance services, and the operation hours of Shenzhen Bay Control Point have also been temporarily shortened to “9 to 8”. The government plans to extend the passenger service at the Shenzhen Bay Control Point to 24 hours a day and activate the passenger service at the Heung Yuen Wai Border Control Point in due course following the COVID-19 epidemic has stabilized.
In his speech at an event today (31st), Secretary for Security Tang Bingqiang said that under the development plan of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it is expected that the flow of people to and from Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area will increase in the future. Therefore, the Security Bureau will continue to enhance the customs clearance capacity of control points. The plan will further facilitate exchanges.
Shenzhen Bay has provided 24-hour freight customs clearance
The Shenzhen Bay Control Point was originally open from 6:30 a.m. to 0:00 a.m. every day, but the freight customs clearance service has been extended to full-day more than a year ago. As for the Heung Yuen Wai border control point, the loan inspection facility was opened in August last year, but the passenger part has not been opened due to the epidemic.
