CHINA-GUANGDONG-HENGQIN-CUSTOMS-NEW OPERATION (CN)
(240301) -- ZHUHAI, March 1, 2024 (Xinhua) -- A staff member of customs checks the luggage of a Macao citizen (R), who was the first passenger to complete customs clearance after a new customs operation became effective in the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone at Hengqin port, south China's Guangdong Province, March 1, 2024. The island of Hengqin in south China's Guangdong Province started a new customs operation on Friday that allows most goods to be moved there tax-free from the neighboring Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR).
The new operation became effective at midnight in the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, in the city of Zhuhai. The 106-square-kilometer island sits between Macao and the Chinese mainland.
Under the new mechanism, tariffs will be generally lifted for goods entering Hengqin from Macao, while goods moving from Hengqin to the Chinese mainland will now be subject to import duties, if they are not eligible for added-value tax exemption.
