The customs clearance between China and Hong Kong is imminent. Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced this morning (7th) that business and civil servants will be the priority group for customs clearance.
The Real Political Roundtable and Legislative Council Member Tian Beichen predicts that the government will "kick a wave". After the citizens and the business community apply, the quota will be redistributed depending on the number of people. Don’t be over Christmas soon.”
Liu Dabang, the permanent honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises, estimates that about 50,000 people in the business sector will queue up for “customs clearance” to go north. I believe that the “queue” will take several months to digest.
In addition to the eagerness of the business community to go north to handle the company’s business, Shi Lishan, deputy director of the Hong Kong Association of Community Organizations, also revealed that mainland family members of more than 100 members are seriously ill and need to return to the mainland to visit relatives urgently. I have to go to the funeral for the acute disease."
Shenzhen's opening customs clearance conditions include: medical treatment, funeral, litigation, examination, etc.
At the end of last month, it was reported that the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau had also opened a green channel. If citizens have "special emergency exit reasons", they must go to Hong Kong and Macau, and they can make an appointment online for passes and endorsements.
The reasons include medical treatment, funeral, litigation, examination, handling industry, academic exchanges, visits to critically ill patients, etc.
Until recently, it was reported that the first stage of customs clearance still tends to "start" with a daily quota of 1,000, but the government announced earlier that the order of applying for the Hong Kong Health Code has nothing to do with the number of customs clearance quotas.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced this morning that the relevant policy bureau chiefs will come into contact with people who have previously been exempt from quarantine, that is, people whose work is closely related to the Hong Kong economy. It is expected that after the announcement of customs clearance, these business and civil servants will become a priority group.

Business and civil servants previously exempted include banks, accountants, insurance, experts, etc.
The government previously announced that people from the Mainland, Macau or Taiwan would be exempted from compulsory quarantine arrangements, and would not stop updating the arrangements until the "Easy Return to Hong Kong" and "Easy Entry to Hong Kong" measures were implemented.
There are 36 groups of search data, of which about 22 are related to business and official affairs, including: insurance, securities and futures, logistics, accounting, banking, legal, medical experts, directors of companies listed on the Stock Exchange Or administrative personnel, R&D institutions, epidemic prevention equipment and testing service companies, manufacturers, etc.
At that time, the government also defined business and official services, including: 1) supply of goods or services needed for daily life in Hong Kong; 2) government affairs operations; 3) protection of the safety and health of Hong Kong people; 4) production operations that are in line with the interests of Hong Kong’s economic development , Business activities or professional services.
Tian Beichen, a member of the Real Political Roundtable and Legislative Council, believes that the government needs at least 14 days to prepare, that is, it can pass the customs as soon as Christmas Eve (24th).

Tian Beichen: The government needs at least 14 days to prepare
Tian Beichen said that it is still unknown how the government will allocate quotas for business, official affairs, family visits, and compassion.
He estimated that the government will "kick a wave" and make a decision based on the number of people after applying from the public and the business community.
He also believes that it is the most reasonable to allocate quotas based on proportions. "Will it be 400, 300, or 300 fixed points? I don't know."
As for how to censor whether the citizens are eager, Tian Beichen thinks that the censorship is a certain degree of difficulty, and it can take up to a month. "There are no companies in the Mainland, but all inspections can be done for business." He predicts that the government will announce the use of "Autumn Settlement." The censorship model punishes citizens who report false information in order to deter potential abuse.
Tian Beichen estimates that the Hong Kong Health Code will open for registration this Friday (10th), and believes that the government needs at least 14 days to prepare, that is, it can be cleared as soon as Christmas Eve (24th).
"It's almost Christmas, I hope it will arrive before the new year."
Tian Beichen has already run for direct elections in the Northwest New Territories. His opponents in the same district include Zhou Haoding and Huang Junlang.

Chamber of Commerce expects 50,000 people to line up northward: listed companies believe priority
Liu Dabang said that he is waiting for government officials to contact the Chamber of Commerce.
He believes that 1,000 daily quotas are not enough. It is roughly estimated that in the business sector, including non-manufacturing industries, about 50,000 people will line up northward and it will take several months to digest.
He revealed that the government had granted exemptions to tens of thousands of business people earlier, referring to the loose arrangements at the time. Each company with business dealings with the Mainland was given 2 places, and it only took 4 days to complete the approval process.
Liu Dabang suggested that the government can arrange priorities based on the information obtained from the earlier exemption. For example, companies with more round-trip records will be given priority.
He said that many senior corporate executives have not returned to mainland companies for 2 years and have not ruled out that problems must be dealt with urgently.
As far as his company is concerned, although there are no obstacles to production and operation, it is difficult to introduce products by telephone or video. Therefore, he will also apply for Kongkang Code to go north to manage the business in person.

Social Association: I have to go to the funeral to explore the acute disease
Shi Lishan said that a large number of citizens have recently received inquiries about the application requirements for customs clearance. They believe that 1,000 places are not enough, and it is recommended that more than 10,000 places be opened.
She revealed that there are more than 100 members’ mainland family members who are seriously ill. Among them, the family members of about 20 people are critically dying and need to return to the mainland to visit relatives urgently. "
In addition, the one-way permit must be accompanied by a spouse to go to the mainland to handle the formalities. However, many people will miss the time limit for obtaining the permit or applying for the customs for nearly two years.
Shi pointed out that because several families cannot wait to switch between the two places and need to take care of their young children at the same time, the whole family must be isolated on the 21st and go home to go through the formalities.
Due to poor economic conditions, these families need to borrow to pay for quarantined hotels and transportation expenses.
She suggested that the government can request for family members’ doctor’s papers, hospitalization certificates, village chief’s certificates, etc., to confirm that citizens have not abused customs clearance quotas.
It is understood that since it is difficult to obtain a certificate in a short time for compassionate applications such as visiting a family member in a sudden illness, the Hong Kong government also tends to use post-event random checks to determine whether the public has abused the customs clearance quota. Therefore, it is not necessary to submit complicated supporting documents when applying.
