Hong Kong is Taiwan’s closest neighbor and Taiwan’s arch rival as well in terms of cargo sources. The efforts to look into Hong Kong will be a shortcut to Taiwan to win. 。 Since the very beginning, Hong Kong has taken the establishment of the “International Logistic Center” as its goal. The entire Hong Kong is virtually a bonded area as a whole. The duty-free, lot customs charge and streamlined customs formality make Hong Kong extremely high in logistic efficiency. Hong Kong charges the world’s lowest harbor fee, warehousing rent and port fees. 。 The Hong Kong government takes the free trade zones as the platforms for import and export trade, transit trade logistics. It adopts electronic customs services, rendering handy services through the government franchised “Trade Electronic Trading Co., Ltd.貿易通電子貿易有限公司”. All corporations can use handy and prompt electronic means to forward the customs declaration directly into the competent authorities of the government in charge. 。 Hong Kong has enacted “Transit (Promotion) Statute for Air Cargoes” and eased up restrictions over import and export of a great categories of air cargoes. Most significantly, the government is not required to come forward and not required to set up the Harbor Administrative Bureau. All port facilities are operated by private business concerns. The government encourages sound competition. 。 Moreover, in Quarter I, 2002, Hong Kong further put into enforcement “electronic visa” system. With only one electronic visa, the bearer can enter and exit Hong Kong twice within two months, with 14 days in each stay. The Immigration Bureau charges the airline companies HK$50 for the visa (equivalent to approximately NT$200). Other than the visa fee, a passenger is further required to pay the handling fee for the airline company and travel agency. That is considerably more economical and convenient to passengers compared with the conventional practice which calls for approximate NT$1,000 for single entry visa for one year which calls for 7~10 business days to obtain the visa. 。 It is informed that the Hong Kong Immigration Administration has signed contracts with Cathay Airways, China Airlines, EVA Airways and Dragon Air. In the online operation, airlines or airline appointed travel agencies only have to input passengers’ personal particulars. The passengers can obtain the confirmation notes on-the-spot and may obtain the electronic visas at the designated spots as soon as they disembark at Hong Kong Airport. Such new practice tremendously benefits passengers in the formality.
