The Customs & Excise Department (C&ED) has launched the Free Trade Agreement Transhipment Facilitation Scheme (FTA Scheme) since 20 December 2015. This voluntary scheme aims to enrich the facilitation services provided under the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) and to facilitate more transhipment cargoes in Hong Kong to be qualified for preferential tariff of concerned importing countries / region through the provision of Customs supervision services and issuance of "Certificate of Non-manipulation".

From time to time, C&ED would update the scope of the FTA Scheme in accordance with changes made by relevant signatories. In order to enhance the understanding of the FTA Scheme, the C&ED will arrange a briefing for the industry regularly. Interested parties may contact the "FTA Scheme" Customs Office at 3152 0233.
