New "green lane" logistics flow created after successful launch of Hunan-Guangdong-Hong Kong Single E-lock Scheme (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Hunan-Guangdong-Hong Kong Single E-lock Scheme was officially launched and the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Ms Louise Ho, attended the launching ceremony in Changsha, Hunan yesterday (June 13). The first batch of transshipment postal items was successfully delivered to the Hong Kong International Airport Air Mail Centre from Changsha, Hunan today (June 14), and was ready for transshipment to overseas destinations. 

     Under the Scheme, both Changsha and Hong Kong Customs conducted real-time monitoring on the batch of postal items by the use of e-locks and GPS technology, and the transportation truck could arrive at Hong Kong International Airport directly via the Shenzhen Bay Port. All these help to minimise duplicate inspections, streamline the Customs clearance process and further facilitate cross-border trade.

     Following Guangdong Province, Hunan Province is the second Mainland province to implement the Scheme. Under the Scheme, the Speedy Customs Clearance System of the Mainland Customs is interconnected with the Intermodal Transhipment Facilitation Scheme of Hong Kong Customs, further enhancing the cross-border logistics safety chain and expediting the cargo transshipment flow.

     The official launch of the Customs clearance points of the Single E-lock Scheme in Hunan has marked a new breakthrough in trade and clearance facilitation and co-operation between Hong Kong and Hunan Customs. The new "green lane" not only helps to promote Hunan's products to international markets, but also consolidates Hong Kong's position as an international logistics centre, unleashing unlimited business opportunities for Hong Kong's logistics industry.
