Xue Yongheng: Listening to the opinions of experts and researching technical solutions, hoping to clear customs as soon as possible, "Smart and convenient" users exceed one million

There is still no specific timetable for customs clearance between Hong Kong and the Mainland. It is rumored that the customs clearance conditions proposed by the Mainland include the setting of a "customs clearance code" with tracking function.

The Director of the Bureau of Innovation and Technology Xue Yongheng said today (15th) that to avoid adding unnecessary pressure to the anti-epidemic work in the two places, he will listen to the opinions of anti-epidemic experts and make relevant technical plans.

The Office of the Chief Information Officer of the Innovation and Technology Bureau also announced today that the "Smart Convenience" service was launched less than a year ago, with more than 1 million registered users and more than 160 online services.

In the future, "Smart Convenience" will increase the "Leisure Link" online booking service of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the online service of public libraries.
