Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Zhuhai Port agents processed more than 110,000 customs declarations for products valued at 3.6 million yuan ($514,080) during trial operation of cross-border e-commerce retail exports from July 13 to 20.

In all, 3,781 packages of commodities including clothing were inspected and released for transit into Macao on July 20 alone.

Customs Supervision Code 9610 mode allows e-commerce retailers to deliver a high volume of small orders separately while declaring them collectively. In addition to direct customs clearance, Chinese mainland enterprises can make declarations after transporting commodities to a temporary warehouse at HZMB Zhuhai Port.

HZMB Zhuhai Port is China's first customs-supervised 9610 bonded site within a top-tier expressway checkpoint. The port has 24/7 zero-delay customs clearance, and location advantage given its proximity to Hong Kong and Macao, said Wu Jiaxing, deputy head of Supervision Section 7 of bridge customs.

Hong Kong and Macao trucks pick up declared retail goods and clear customs in a few minutes. Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong's Kwai Tsing Container Terminals, and Macao International Airport are reachable in 30, 60, and 25 minutes respectively via the HZMB, avoiding detours to Shenzhen.
