After China and Hong Kong customs clearance, many vehicles with China and Hong Kong license plates went to the designated vehicle inspection center China Inspection Co., Ltd. (CCIC) in Yuen Long for inspection. However, due to the large number of vehicles, many car owners reported that the appointment hotline has not been connected.
Some members of the Legislative Council predicted that as the end of the year approached, the number of vehicles queuing up for inspection would continue to increase. They suggested that the CCIC should "specially handle special matters" and outsource the vehicle inspection work to a vehicle inspection center approved by it in Hong Kong, or even arrange for vehicles to be returned to the mainland for inspection.

He suggested that the CCIC consider taking special measures to entrust other local approved vehicle inspection companies to assist in the inspection of Chinese and Hong Kong licensed vehicles, or Arrange for vehicles with Chinese and Hong Kong license plates to return to the Mainland for inspection.
Members propose to set up outsourcing to Hong Kong for car inspections and add online appointments
Currently, vehicles with licenses from the two places must complete the vehicle inspection procedures before they can meet the requirements of the Mainland, and the owner can purchase Mainland car insurance for the vehicle and drive to and from the Mainland.
Legislative Council member Chen Manqi suggested that the relevant departments of the SAR government communicate with the mainland government departments to formulate a plan to speed up the completion of the vehicle inspection work, including speeding up the work progress of the vehicle inspection center and increasing the staffing in charge of the vehicle inspection work, so as to improve Specify the vehicle inspection efficiency of the vehicle inspection center.
