Hong Kong Customs to publicise Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones Regulatory Regime at jewellery exhibition
Hong Kong Customs will set up a booth at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), from tomorrow (March 4) for five consecutive days to publicise the Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones Regulatory Regime (Regime), and will provide on-site counter services to assist non-Hong Kong dealers in submitting cash transaction reports during their participation in the exhibition.
According to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615), unless exempted, any person who is seeking to carry on a business of dealing in precious metals and stones and engage in any transaction(s) (whether making or receiving a payment) with a total value at or above HK$120,000 in Hong Kong is required to register with Hong Kong Customs and fulfil his/her anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing statutory obligations as appropriate.All dealers in precious metals and stones must successfully obtain a relevant registration before they can carry out any cash or non-cash transaction(s) with a total value at or above HK$120,000.
For non-Hong Kong dealers fulfilling the prescribed conditions (including those who come to Hong Kong to participate in exhibitions), although they are exempt from registration, they are required to submit to Hong Kong Customs a cash transaction report for any cash transaction(s) (whether making or receiving a payment) with a total value at or above HK$120,000 carried out in Hong Kong within one day after the transaction, or before the dealer or the person acting on behalf of the dealer leaves Hong Kong, whichever is earlier.
Non-Hong Kong dealers can make an online submission of a cash transaction report via the Regime's webpage atwww.drs.customs.gov.hkby accessing the Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones Registration System. Details of the submission procedures are set out at www.drs.customs.gov.hk/download/drsform/Information%20Sheet%20-%20Submission%20of%20Cash%20Transaction%20Report%20by%20using%20DRS.pdf.
Non-Hong Kong dealers can also download the related form atwww.drs.customs.gov.hk/download/drsform/CED418_Form%208_Cash%20transaction%20report.pdfand then submit the report in person at Hong Kong Customs' booth in the exhibition.
The Hong Kong Customs' booth (Booth 1C-C18) is located at HKCEC Hall 1C and will be open from 10.30am to 6.30pm on March 4, from 10am to 6.30pm between March 5 and 7, and from 10am to 5.30pm on March 8.
