On 11 February, the Assistant Commissioner of Customs and Excise（Intelligence and Investigation）, Mr Wong Ho-yin, witnessed by the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Mr Chan Tsz-tat, signed a Memorandum of Understanding（MOU）with Taobao & Tmall to establish a closer co-operative relationship.
Taobao & Tmall is the first cross-boundary e-commerce platform to sign an MOU with Hong Kong Customs. Through the signing of the MOU, both sides will establish a closer communication and collaboration mechanism, strengthen compliance promotion, and work together to prevent prohibited or controlled items from entering Hong Kong through online shopping channels, thereby providing more comprehensive protection for consumers.
