It's related to the milk restriction order

Because of the quality problem of infant milk powder in mainland China, the quality of infant milk powder in Hongkong, Macau and overseas is relatively reassuring. Mainland consumers in China snapped up infant milk powder in Hongkong, Macau and overseas retail markets through various channels, resulting in the shortage of local milk powder market. Germany, New Zealand, Australia and other countries impose restrictions on the purchase of infant milk powder.

The Import and Export (General) (Amendment) Regulation was implemented in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on March 20 13 to limit the snap purchase of milk powder and reserve baby milk powder for local residents. According to this regulation, people with more than 16 leave Hong Kong, and they are not allowed to bring more than 65438 without declaration every day.

One of the fundamental reasons for the purchase restriction of milk powder is that mainland residents are eager for high-quality baby milk powder, and the milk powder supplied in the mainland market is difficult to make consumers trust and rest assured. 20 13 May 10 Leung Chun-ying, chief executive of the hong kong special administrative region, said that the government of the hong kong special administrative region would like to review the milk restriction order on 20 13 June 5438+00.
