Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor revealed earlier that Chief Secretary for Administration Li Jiachao has led a delegation to discuss customs clearance details with Guangdong officials. Apart from official and business needs, other citizens in need will also be asked to apply for quotas, but the specific number of customs clearance quotas has not been announced.
Liu Dabang, the permanent honorary chairman of the Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises, said in a radio program today (16th) that every chamber of commerce has a quota, and each company will have three quotas. Large chambers of commerce will have more quotas.
In addition, those who have applied for an exemption authorization letter from the Trade and Industry Department (that is, those who return to Hong Kong from the Mainland can be exempted from quarantine) will be given priority.
Liu also pointed out that it is said that listed companies already have two quotas. They can use them at any time and do not need to review and approve them.

Liu Dabang said that according to the news he heard yesterday, it is reported that the number of customs clearance quotas is about 3,000 per day.
In addition, the quota will be divided into several different types of people, of which the business sector will account for more.
Liu Dabang said that every chamber of commerce has a certain quota. Among them, those who have applied for an exemption authorization letter from the Trade and Industry Department (that is, those who return to Hong Kong from the Mainland can be exempted from quarantine) can be given priority. Chambers of commerce have quotas, and each company will have three quotas. Large chambers of commerce will have more, but the order will be coordinated by the chamber of commerce.
He believes that the relevant arrangements are appropriate. Although those who have applied for an exemption authorization letter can be exempted from quarantine when they return to Hong Kong, they will also be quarantined when they go to the Mainland. What about this class? It's so obvious."

Listed companies already have two quotas for small and medium-sized enterprises to "leaving a few behind"
When asked whether listed companies would obtain quotas more easily than SMEs, Liu responded that he heard that every listed company already has two quotas, and they can use them at any time without requiring further approval.
For small and medium enterprises, they have to "fewer at the bottom", which is described as "lower bottom". I hope that the government can balance their needs as much as possible.
Liu Dabang also believes that in terms of quota allocation, "first come, first served" does not work. His foreign domestic helpers come to Hong Kong as an example. Now they have to quarantine hotels before they come to Hong Kong. "Some SME owners don’t know about IT. It may not be sufficient if you want to get it every day.” As for the lottery, he said that there are also disadvantages, and people who are in urgent need of going to the Mainland may not be drawn by then.
