Where the issue of export authorizations is suspended, Hong Kong may extend the validity of an existing export authorization, for a period not exceeding ninety days, if it is satisfied that the failure to apply for an export licence within the validity period of the export authorization has been caused by circumstances beyond the control of the person to whom the export authorization was issued.
