[2015-12-28 18:51:48]
In order to facilitate the practice of the "Direct Transport" clause in preferential trade arrangements, as regards import-to-China goods transited via Hong Kong SAR or Macao SAR:
1. Where importers apply for conventional duties or special preferential duties by submitting any of the following transport documents, China Customs will not require them to submit Confirmation for the Transit or Certificate of Non-Manipulation:
(1) As regards imports by air or by sea, single transport documents issued by international express firms, civil air transport firms, international liner transport firms, or their agents. Such transport documents shall indicate on one page the place of dispatch as within a Country/Region of Origin and the destination as within the P. R. China; regarding the imports from a landlocked country/region by sea, the place of dispatch may be indicated as the port of dispatch for sea transport.
(2) As regards container-transported goods under such agreements as Cross-Straits Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) which have been provided with Electronic Data Interchange for origin information, through transport documents may be submitted to prove that no change is made to both container number and seal number during the course of transport.
2. In other circumstances than the preceding, importers shall submit Confirmation for the Transit or Certificate of Non-Manipulation as per the following regulations:
(1) As regards non-containerized goods transited via Hong Kong or Macao and the containerized goods that are unpacked for the reasons rather than pre-inspection during the transit, importers shall submit Confirmation for the Transit issued by Hong Kong or Macao Customs.
(2) As regards the containerized goods pre-inspected during the transit, importers shall submit Certificate of Non-Manipulation issued by China Inspection Company Limited (Hong Kong) or CCIC Macao Company Limited.
Where China Customs has any questions on the transport documents aforesaid, the importers shall provide supplemental proofs.
This Announcement shall enter into force on 20 December 2015.
