“One Form, Two Declarations”: The Mainland–Hong Kong Road Manifest Reform Rolling Out Across China

2026-08-28 Import-Export Clearance / 进出口清关

  • In late August 2026 Hubei handled the first “one form, two declarations” (yi dan liang bao) import shipment outside the Greater Bay Area, using the inland–Hong Kong road manifest data-sharing model — a truck of cosmetics cleared via Shenzhen Bay Port to Wuhan marked the model’s first application in central China.
    2026 年 8 月下旬，湖北落地全国首票非毗邻粤港澳地区”一单两报”进口业务：一辆载有化妆品的货车经深圳湾口岸入境运抵武汉，标志着内地与香港公路舱单”一单两报”新模式首次在中部地区应用。
  • “One form, two declarations” is a 2026 cross-border trade facilitation measure introduced by the national port office: an enterprise enters road manifest data once in the China International Trade Single Window, and the system automatically translates and pushes the data to both mainland and Hong Kong customs systems.

  • The model removes the separate Hong Kong-side filing: companies no longer pay the Hong Kong declaration fee, cut submission time by roughly half an hour per shipment, and in the Hubei first shipment overall clearance time improved by about four hours.

“One Form, Two Declarations”: The Mainland–Hong Kong Road Manifest Reform Rolling Out Across China | “一单两报”：内地与香港公路舱单申报改革在全国铺开

What happened in Hubei

In late August 2026, a truck carrying cosmetics cleared customs under the supervision of Hankou Customs, a subordinate office of Wuhan Customs. The shipment originated in Hong Kong, entered via Shenzhen Bay Port, and was bound for the Dongxihu Comprehensive Bonded Logistics Park in Wuhan — the first “one form, two declarations” (yi dan liang bao) import shipment handled outside the provinces and regions adjacent to the Greater Bay Area, marking the model’s first application in central China. According to customs statistics, Hubei’s imports and exports with the Hong Kong region reached RMB 58.18 billion in the first seven months of 2026, up 153.7 per cent year on year. The forwarder, Wuhan Zhongshi International Logistics, said the single filing replaced duplicate declarations on both sides of the border, cutting declaration and cross-border communication costs.

How the mechanism works

“One form, two declarations” is a 2026 cross-border trade facilitation initiative of the national port office. Under the data-coordination mechanism between mainland customs and Hong Kong customs, an enterprise enters road manifest data once in the China International Trade Single Window. The system automatically converts the data into the formats required by the mainland and Hong Kong customs systems respectively and pushes each version to the corresponding system. The enterprise therefore files once and clears in two jurisdictions — “one form, both places” (yi zhang dan, liang di pao). Where the earlier “cross-border one lock” (kua jing yi suo) model already connects truck movements between Guangdong/Fujian and Hong Kong, the one-form model layers a single declaration on top of the existing fast-clearance channel.

Who benefits and how much

The reform was first piloted in the Greater Bay Area and in Fujian in May 2026 (the Min-Yue-Gang “one lock” corridor, where the first import and export shipments landed in May), then expanded to Hunan and Hubei, with export flows to Hong Kong and Macao also using the model. The gains are concrete. First, cost: the Hong Kong-side declaration fee is waived. Second, speed: each shipment saves roughly half an hour of declaration time, and the Hubei first shipment improved overall clearance time by about four hours. Third, accuracy: single-entry data reduces the risk of divergent filings and errors. Fourth, reach: businesses no longer need to master Hong Kong filing rules or operate in a second system. For foreign traders — general trade, cross-border e-commerce and bonded logistics moving goods by road between the mainland and Hong Kong or Macao — the compliance footprint shrinks materially.

Practical steps for companies

Companies trading by road with Hong Kong or Macao should: (1) confirm they are registered with the customs authority and hold an import/export or logistics business; (2) become a registered user of the China International Trade Single Window and opt into the one-form service; (3) enter road manifest data once in the mainland Single Window, with the system handling translation and distribution; (4) check with their supervising customs office (for example Wuhan Customs via the 12360 hotline, or the local port office) on eligibility for the specific corridor; and (5) for businesses in provinces where the model is not yet live, watch for the national rollout announced by the customs administration, which has said it will continue to widen coverage based on enterprise demand. The direction of travel is clear: for road-borne trade with Hong Kong and Macao, double filing is being replaced by single filing and two-way recognition.

The reform’s trajectory and what comes next

The rollout has moved in a clear sequence through 2026. In May, the model went live on the Min-Yue-Gang “cross-border one lock” corridor: Xiamen Customs handled the first import and export shipments under the combined “one lock plus one form” model, and Quanzhou followed within days for shipments via Shenzhen Bay Port to the Jinjiang inland port. In late May, Hunan handled its first import and export pair under the same model through Chenzhou, and in late August Hubei added the first shipment outside the Greater Bay Area’s immediate neighbourhood. Ningxia’s customs then processed a first export shipment to Macao in August. For foreign traders this sequence matters in two ways: it shows the model is standardising rather than experimental, and it suggests that customs offices in the remaining provinces will accept single-window filings for Hong Kong- and Macao-bound road cargo on a rolling basis. The national port office has said it will widen the scope of “one form, two declarations” further, so companies should treat single-filing capability as a near-term universal feature of mainland–Hong Kong road trade. For compliance teams, the practical documentation is modest: keep the single-window submission reference, retain the manifest data the system translated, and maintain the linkage between the mainland manifest number and the Hong Kong cargo details so that any post-clearance verification can be answered quickly.

“一单两报”：内地与香港公路舱单申报改革在全国铺开

湖北发生了什么

2026 年 8 月下旬，一辆载有化妆品的货车在武汉海关所属汉口海关监管下通关放行。该票货物从香港出发，经深圳湾口岸入境，运抵武汉东西湖综合保税物流园区——这是全国首票非毗邻粤港澳地区应用内地与香港公路舱单”一单两报”新模式的进口货物，标志着该模式首次在华中地区落地。据海关统计，2026 年前 7 个月，湖北省对香港地区进出口 581.8 亿元，同比增长 153.7%。承运企业武汉中实国际物流表示，新模式以一次录入取代两地重复申报，节省了申报成本与跨境沟通成本。

机制如何运作

“一单两报”是 2026 年国家口岸办推出的跨境贸易便利化举措。依托内地海关与香港海关建立的数据协同机制，申报企业只需在内地国际贸易”单一窗口”录入一次公路舱单数据，系统便会自动将信息转译为分别符合内地与香港海关要求的申报数据，并推送至对应的通关系统——一次申报、两地通关，实现”一张单、两地跑”。在闽粤港”跨境一锁”快速通关模式已实现粤闽与香港之间货车”不换车、不换锁”自动快速验放的基础上，”一单两报”在既有快通通道上叠加单次申报。

谁受益、受益多少

该改革 2026 年 5 月先在大湾区与福建落地（闽粤港”跨境一锁”通道首批进出口业务于 5 月完成），随后扩展至湖南、湖北，对港澳出口业务同样适用。收益具体可感：其一，成本——香港端申报费用予以减免；其二，速度——每票货物申报时间节约半小时以上，湖北首票整体通关时效提前约 4 小时；其三，准确——单次录入减少两地数据不一致与差错风险；其四，可达——企业无需再适应香港申报规则与第二套系统界面。对经公路在中国内地与香港、澳门之间运输货物的一般贸易、跨境电商与保税物流企业，合规负担显著下降。

企业操作要点

与港澳开展公路运输贸易的企业应：（1）确认已在海关注册登记、具备进出口或物流业务资质；（2）成为中国国际贸易”单一窗口”登记用户并选择”一单两报”服务；（3）在内地”单一窗口”一次性录入公路舱单数据，由系统完成转译与分发；（4）向主管海关（如武汉海关 12360 热线）或地方口岸部门核实所在通道的适用条件；（5）模式尚未开通省份的企业，关注海关总署宣布的全国推广——署方已表示将立足企业需求持续拓宽”一单两报”覆盖范围。方向明确：对港澳公路运输货物，两地重复申报正被”一次录入、两地互认”取代。

改革轨迹与下一步

落地在 2026 年呈清晰的推进序列。5 月，模式在闽粤港”跨境一锁”通道上线：厦门海关完成”一锁+一单”组合模式下首批进出口业务，泉州随后数日即经深圳湾口岸将货物运抵晋江陆地港完成首票。5 月下旬，湖南经郴州完成同模式首批进出口货物；8 月下旬，湖北落地粤港澳邻近区域之外的首票。8 月，银川海关办理宁夏首票对澳门出口。对外贸企业，这一序列有两重含义：其一，模式正在标准化而非试验化；其二，提示其余省份海关将滚动接受面向港澳公路货物的单一窗口申报。国家口岸办已表示将进一步拓宽”一单两报”覆盖范围，企业应把单次申报能力视为内地—香港公路贸易近期普遍化的功能。对合规团队，实际留痕要求不高：保留单一窗口申报回执、留存系统转译的舱单数据，并维持内地舱单号与香港货物信息的对应关系，以便事后核验可快速回应。
