Customs clearance between Hong Kong and the Mainland began on Sunday (8th). Those who enter the Mainland from Hong Kong and return to Hong Kong from the Mainland must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate taken within 48 hours before travel.
The government stated that if the negative test result is still valid on the return trip, the test must be carried out within 48 hours of returning to Hong Kong, and the same certificate can be used to pass through the border.
Therefore, if the plan is to "fall in the morning and leave late", the best time to conduct the test should be the morning of the day before going north, so that you can receive the test results that night or the next morning, and you can use the same negative test certificate when you return to Hong Kong that night or the next morning.
1: When should self-funded nucleic acid testing be done?
According to regulations, passengers need to take the test within 48 hours before the scheduled departure time of the flight or the arrival time at the port. If the passenger intends to return on the same day, if the test is carried out within the past 48 hours on the return trip, the negative test result is still considered valid. If you plan to travel back and forth on the same day, you should take the test the morning before departure to allow more time.
Although the testing station stops at 8:00 p.m., you should pay attention to the time when each testing station sends the sampling bottle back to the laboratory or earlier. After that, it may not accept the test with the result within 12 hours, so don’t think that the payment of 240 yuan is guaranteed.
The government pointed out that if the negative test result is still valid on the return journey, that is, the test was carried out within the past 48 hours, the same certificate can be used to pass the border.

2: How can the test report meet the requirements?
Citizens can present the electronic or paper records or screenshots issued by the testing agency when passing through the customs. In addition, they can also present the "electronic testing records (testing at their own expense)" downloaded from the website of the government's electronic testing record system.
However, it should be noted that the test results at their own expense must meet the requirements. The free community test results displayed by mobile phone text messages cannot be used to pass through the border, because the former only has personal information and detailed information such as sampling time, while the latter only has partial ID numbers. , will not be accepted.
3: Do the reports of community testing centers and testing stations meet the requirements?
Self-paid test reports from community testing centers and testing stations can be used for customs clearance. However, there are many people queuing up at community testing centers when customs clearance is imminent. Citizens can make an appointment online to ensure timely testing and reduce on-site waiting time.
4: If 48 hours have passed, how can the test be carried out in the Mainland?
At present, the official website of the State Council and its "State Council Client Mini Program" have functions that allow the public to check the institutions that provide nucleic acid testing services in different provinces and cities in the Mainland.
The test results provided by these agencies can be used for customs clearance in the Mainland and Hong Kong SAR.
After entering the testing station to search the website, first select a province such as Guangdong Province, and then enter a region such as Shenzhen, the address of the testing center in Shenzhen will be displayed, or even enter "Luohu" (the results cannot be displayed in traditional Luohu) to find nearby testing centers stand.
