CHINESE KOWLOON CUSTOMS
This is the inclusive name given to the Chinese Customs stations placed around Hongkong for the purpose of collecting duty on the trade carried on by Chinese junks between Hongkong and Chinese ports. In 1899, when the New Territory was taken over by Hongkong, the Customs stations had to be removed from their former locations which had been brought within the British boundary, and the present stations are situated at Taishan, Lintin, Shamchin, Shatowkok, Shayuchung, and Samun (Tooniang), besides which there are a number of frontier patrol posts on the north shores of Deep and Mirs Bays and between the two bays. The net value of the trade of 1904 was Tls. 43,771,566 against Tls. 42,507,795 in 1903, Tls. 46,784,280 in 1902, and Tls. 49,128,622 in 1901. The largest on record was in 1899, viz.: Tls. 56,532, 226.
