The scope of implementation of the Co-operation Zone is the customs supervision area between the "first line" and the "second line" of Hengqin Island, of which the "first line" between Hengqin and the Macao Special Administrative Region is set as the "first line"; The relationship between Hengqin and other areas within the customs territory of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the "Mainland") is set up as the "second line". After the closure, the customs clearance process of the "first-line" Hengqin port remains unchanged, and the vehicles enter the "second-line" channel, and those who have not been sampled can go directly out of the island. In addition to a series of duty-free policies, Macao residents who study, reside or work in the Co-operation Zone and have been included in the "Applicable Persons List" are limited to one time per person per day to carry animal and plant products with a total amount of no more than 5 kilograms.
Major institutional explorations for efficient and convenient circulation.
Li Weinong said at the on-site command and dispatch meeting of Hengqin Port last night that since February 8, the Executive Committee of the Cooperation Zone and the Provincial Hengqin Office jointly issued a notice to clarify the time node of the official closure and operation of the Hengqin Cooperation Zone, and the press has paid great attention to the customs closure and operation of the cooperation zone. First of all, on behalf of the Executive Committee, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to the relevant ministries and commissions of the state, Guangdong Province, Macao Special Administrative Region, and the cooperation zone, and to all friends for their concern and attention.

He also pointed out that promoting the moderate diversification of Macao's economy is the original intention of the Hengqin Co-operation Zone, and the implementation of sub-line management and customs closure operation is the key measure for the Co-operation Zone to implement its original aspiration and mission. This policy is a major exploration of the implementation of high-level institutional opening-up in the Co-operation Zone, which will effectively promote the more efficient and convenient flow of logistics, capital flow and information flow between Macao and Qinqin, so that Macao residents who study, work, start businesses and live in the Co-operation Zone can feel more similar to Macao's living environment, and create valuable new space for the development of Macao's new industries and new business forms.
The first national initiative measures to promote the integration of Macao and Qinqin.
Li Weinong said that after the closure and operation, the "first line" of goods will be released, the "second line" will be controlled, and the entry and exit of personnel will be highly convenient. According to the relevant policies of sub-line management, the scope of duty-free (bonded) goods is no longer limited to "use related to production", and the scope of subjects and goods enjoying the tax-free and bonded policies has also been further expanded, and bonded goods can also be freely circulated among enterprises engaged in bonded business in the zone, which will facilitate the flow of goods between the Macao SAR and the Co-operation Zone and promote economic and trade exchanges between Macao and Qinqin. In addition, goods containing imported materials and parts with a processing value of 30% or more can be exempted from import duties when entering the Mainland through the "second tier", which will directly benefit Macao's branded industries and manufacturing entities, such as science and technology research and development and traditional Chinese medicine. According to the policy, eligible Macao residents can bring a total of no more than 5 kilograms of animal and plant products into the Co-operation Zone every day, which will be the first of its kind in these countries, which will directly benefit the integrated development of Macao and Qinqin.

He stressed that the smooth implementation of the policy is only the beginning, and more important and crucial is to make good use of the policy, so that the majority of enterprises and residents of Aoqin can truly feel the benefits of the policy. In the early stage, with the strong support of all parties, the policies on the management of the sub-line at the national level have all been implemented, the cooperation zone has formulated and introduced a series of supporting measures, the public service platform of the smart port has been put into operation, the "second-line" channel has completed the comprehensive pressure test in an orderly manner, and the sub-line management has been successfully implemented. However, knowing that the "four commons" management system of the cooperation zone is a new mechanism, there is no precedent for the operation of the sub-line management and customs closure to learn from, and the new policy needs a process to achieve the expected results.
Highlight the advantages of the two systems and create a regional demonstration.
Lei Wai Nong pointed out that the Executive Committee will make greater efforts to deepen the development and construction of Hengqin, accelerate the development of Hengqin into a regional development demonstration with Chinese characteristics and highlight the advantages of "two systems", better help Macao and Hengqin accelerate integration, and continue to create better conditions for Macao residents to integrate into the overall development of the country. Through continuous exploration and improvement of the operational mechanism, we will give full play to the advantages brought by the special regulatory system of "separate line management", and promote the moderate diversification of Macao's economy to achieve more substantial and new progress.
