In 2022, Hong Kong Customs and HOY TV jointly produced a six-episode TV series – “Customs Get Set Go!” to promote the department’s little-known work the public. The collaboration comes back this year with an overseas special series produced in Europe that aims to increase public’s understanding of the work of overseas seconded officers.
The production crew of Office of Trade Relations and Public Communication traveled to Brussels, Belgium, and Lyon, France, to interview the two secondees, Senior Inspector Mr Wang Yang, and Assistant Superintendent Mr Lam Chi-wang, respectively. The new TV series, broadcasted in August this year, introduces their duties and daily lives at the WCO and INTERPOL, as well as the department’s support to the officers deployed overseas. The Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Ms Louise Ho, also took the opportunity to visit the two secondees during her overseas duty visit.
