HZMB saw record highs in people, vehicles, and goods last year

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB) saw record highs last year in the flow of people, vehicles, and goods through its Ports, the head of the Customs Division of the Gongbei Customs said during a Spring Festival symposium held last week.

According to a report from local Chinese media, Macao Daily, at the event that was attended by representatives of the three sides, Director Zhou noted that in 2025, the office supervised over 31 million cross-border passengers, more than 6.8 million vehicles, and a total value of imported and exported goods exceeding RMB320 billion (MOP373.67 billion).

The same Gongbei Customs official noted that passenger, vehicle, and cargo volumes all maintained double-digit growth, reaching historic highs since the bridge first opened to traffic.

At the same time, officials from different departments have toured the facilities to gather information about the work being performed, particularly regarding the “Smart Customs” procedures in force for light vehicles.

Three new corporate representatives, including Huawei, Zhuhai Port Logistics Development Group Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Shuttle Bus (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., have also been sworn in as external oversight entities, responsible for supervision and feedback.

Also at the event, the former Hong Kong singer and current deputy to the National People’s Congress (NPC), Cally Kwong, remarked that the visit allowed her to have a more concrete idea of the work from the Customs to ensure “smooth travel for people and smooth flow of goods” at the bridge port.

She added that the “Smart Customs” system allows efficient services while facilitating the integration of the Greater Bay Area at an “accelerated speed.”

Other NPC deputies present at the event also offered opinions and suggestions on improving port clearance efficiency, serving the high-quality development of foreign trade, and strengthening customs protection of intellectual property rights.
