Hong Kong Customs presents Elite Enterprise Partnership Award 2026

Hong Kong Customs today (July 15) held an award presentation ceremony of the Elite Enterprise Partnership Award 2026 at the Customs Headquarters Building, presenting awards to 16 stakeholders from the logistics, intellectual property and other industries in recognition of their co-operation and support to Customs. Established in 2022, this year marks the fifth year of the award. Among the awardees this year, two have been presented with the award for five consecutive years while 10 are first-time awardees. Hong Kong Customs expresses sincere gratitude to every elite enterprise partner.

At the ceremony, the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Mr Chan Tsz-tat, said that Hong Kong Customs stands fast at its post and takes stringent enforcement actions to uphold the rule of law in Hong Kong and the overall interests of the country. On the other hand, Customs implements various trade facilitation measures, and at the same time, deepens regional co-operation and strives to ensure the safe and smooth operation of Hong Kong as an international trade and logistics hub in its capacity as the Vice-Chair for the Asia/Pacific Region of the World Customs Organization. Hong Kong Customs also actively aligns with the National 15th Five-Year Plan, adheres to the two axioms of "safety" and "development", develops smart customs procedures, promotes the application of innovation and technology, and strikes a balance between precise enforcement and trade facilitation.

The awardees this year came from various sectors, including statutory bodies, express couriers, logistics companies, shipping agencies, container terminal operators, bank and trademark representatives. The diversity of stakeholders showcases the good co-operative relationship between Customs and different enterprises. The department will continue to uphold the mission of safeguarding Hong Kong and facilitating legitimate trade, and collaborate with partners of different industries.
