With our headquarters;  several freight and logistics hubs in the city, as well as regular cross-border traffic to and from Shenzhen, we would like to advise that supply chains operating through Hong Kong are once again facing restrictions on cross-border truck operations due to Covid-restrictions.

Increasing Covid cases around Shenzhen have led to the city reducing daily cross-border truck movements by more than half since July 25 and reduce truck capacity to around 10-20% of usual levels.

In addition, it is being reported that stricter testing policies have been enacted. Truck drivers must show proof of a negative test result within 24 hours, versus the previous 48 hours, from July 24 to July 31.

You should be aware that shipments that need to be trucked to Hong Kong should expect longer transit times.

Restrictions were also put in place on cross-border truck operations earlier in the year as China battled a series of Covid outbreaks.
