Hong Kong Customs introduced today (June 23) the E-form Submission for Passenger Information (Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments) (E-form) service that enables incoming and outgoing travellers to pre-fill information of a large quantity of currency and bearer negotiable instruments (CBNIs) (i.e. with a total value of more than HK$120,000) in their possession via an easy and convenient electronic means.
After the launch of the service, travellers can pre-fill information of a large quantity of CBNIs in accordance with the provisions of the Cross-boundary Movement of Physical Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments Ordinance (Cap. 629) and obtain a QR code before arriving in or just before leaving Hong Kong. They can then present the QR code to Customs officers for declaration when they enter or leave Hong Kong.
The E-form provides a variety of features, including enquiring about and amending the saved information prior to declaration, downloading completed declaration forms, autofilling personal information and digital signing with "iAM Smart+". All these enable travellers to fill out information more conveniently and effectively, expedite the process of on-site declarations, and reduce overall clearance time.
Regarding the declaration and disclosure requirements of CBNIs, please visit the Customs website. For details on how to use the E-form, please read the User Manual of the E-form.
Hong Kong Customs will continue to leverage technology to optimise its systems and services with a view to providing quality clearance services to the public.
