There are different ways to clear customs.

When a tour group signs a pass, it needs Shenzhen Travel Agency to make a list of group tours, and the tour guide will send it through. There will be a customs clearance service fee, and travel agencies need to show the list of tour groups before they can go to China, Hong Kong or Macau, China.

If the endorsement is a personal G-sign, you can fly directly to China and Hongkong; Those who sign up for a group tour can only choose to clear customs in Shenzhen or Zhuhai, and cannot fly directly. But they can fly directly from China and Hongkong to mainland cities. The Hong Kong and Macao Pass, commonly known as the Two-way Permit, is a travel document issued by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Exit-Entry Administration of the Ministry of Public Security to mainland residents for private travel, visiting relatives, business, training, employment, study abroad and other non-official activities in China.
