DESK OFFICET INDEX
No, it has not been found necessary to do
so as the meat bought by individual shoppers in China
and then brought into Hong Kong
-
and this kind of
shopping has been going on for a long time is
generally of a good quality, and the quantities are
small, being for consumption by the individuals
themselves and their families.
