Complete Process for the Compliant Disposal of Expired Food, Cosmetics, and Electronic Waste Returned to Hong Kong

I. Preliminary Stage: Mainland Customs Disposal and Return Approval Process

1. Cargo Inspection and Classification

After receiving the customs detention and order for return, the company cooperates in completing the following:

• Inventory, photographing, and classifying the goods, distinguishing between expired food, cosmetics, and electronic waste;

• Customs verifies the condition, quantity, and origin of the goods, clearly prohibiting resale and requiring only destruction;

• Issuing a disposal opinion, confirming approval for return and destruction, prohibiting unauthorized disposal within the country.

2. Submission of Return Documents and Customs Clearance Procedures

The company submits to customs: a return application, a cargo list, a statement of circumstances, a packing list, and customs declaration documents;

Customs completes inspection, sealing, and release under supervision, issuing relevant return documents. All documents are archived for traceability and future reference.

3. Categorized Packaging and Safe Loading for Transfer

Differentiated protection based on product category:

• Expired food: Sealed to prevent leakage, spoilage, and odor, avoiding spoilage and leakage during transportation;

• Cosmetics: Liquids, ointments, and powders are individually sealed, using explosion-proof bottles to prevent breakage;

• Electronic waste: Circuit boards, batteries, and components are individually isolated to prevent leakage of heavy metals and electrolytes;

Complete cross-border supervised transportation and transport to the designated area in Hong Kong.

II. Mid-term: Hong Kong Arrival Receiving and Pre-processing Process

1. Hong Kong Entry Receiving and Verification

After the goods arrive in Hong Kong, verify the name, quantity, batch, and status of each item against the customs manifest, complete the warehousing registration, and create a handover ledger.

2. Refined Pre-treatment and Sorting

Sorting according to Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department's disposal standards:

1. Expired Food: Remove outer packaging, separate recyclable packaging from the food itself to prevent cross-contamination from spoilage and leachate;

2. Cosmetics: Separate bottles, tubes, and creams/liquids; collect and seal liquids uniformly, and collect solids separately;

3. Electronic Waste: Differentiate between ordinary electronics, those with lithium batteries, and those containing heavy metal components, and store them as hazardous waste and general waste.

III. Post-Disposal: Hong Kong Compliant and Environmentally Friendly Destruction Execution Process

1. On-site Supervision and Full Traceability

The inventory list is checked again before destruction, and the entire process is recorded with video and photos to ensure one item, one trace, and batch correspondence, meeting customs and environmental regulatory traceability requirements.

2. Category-Based Harmless Destruction Operations

1. Expired Food

Using compliant processes such as high-temperature crushing, closed-loop harmless incineration, and biodegradation, strictly controlling the spread of odors, leachate, and bacteria, and disposing of residues in compliance with regulations.

2. Cosmetics

Liquid cosmetics are processed through a professional wastewater treatment system; creams and powders are destroyed at high temperatures in a sealed environment; packaging materials are sorted, recycled, or treated to render them harmless. Waste gas and residue meet Hong Kong's environmental emission standards.

3. Electronic Waste

Electronic waste is first professionally crushed and dismantled to separate precious metals and recyclable materials; hazardous waste containing toxic substances, heavy metals, or batteries is disposed of in a sealed, harmless manner according to Hong Kong's Hazardous Waste Management Ordinance, with strict control over secondary pollution.

3. Closed-Loop Issuance of Compliance Documents

Upon completion of the destruction, the following documents are issued:

• Destruction certificate, disposal report, photographic evidence, and environmental compliance filing documents;

• For internal archiving, customs inspection, and compliance review purposes.

IV. Closing the Process: Corporate Compliance Filing and Risk Management

1. Compile all necessary documents: Customs return shipment order, cross-border transportation records, Hong Kong handover document, destruction images, and disposal report;

2. Establish a complete compliance file for subsequent customs inspections and regulatory audits;

3. Strictly prohibit the unauthorized transfer, sale, or disposal of returned goods to Hong Kong, eliminating the risk of administrative penalties and environmental accountability.
