Dear Sirs,
Commercial
Information Circular No. 88/2006
Mainland
and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA)
Prohibited Imports of the Mainland
According to the
CEPA provisions, the Mainland has fully implemented zero tariff on imported
goods of Hong Kong origin from 1 January 2006, upon applications by local
manufacturers and upon the CEPA rules of origin (ROOs) being agreed and
met. Relevant goods do not include goods prohibited by the Mainland's
rules and regulations and those prohibited as a result of the implementation
of international treaties by the Mainland. The Trade and Industry Department
consolidated the catalogues of prohibited imports issued by the Mainland
in the past and issued the CIC No. 563/2005 on 30 December 2005. The Mainland
has recently issued the "Catalogue of Prohibited Imports (the sixth
batch)" and the "Notice Concerning the Prohibition of Import
and Export of Certain Industrial and Commercial Compressors with CFCS
Refrigerants". Relevant documents are attached at Appendices
I and II (pdf format) for reference.
- For more details
or updates on prohibited imports by the Mainland, you are advised to
consult the Mainland's local Customs offices and other relevant Mainland
authorities.
