CHINESE KOWLOON CUSTOMS

This is the inclusive name given to the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs stations adjacent to Hongkong and established in 1887 in accordance with the Additional Article to the Chefoo Agreement of 1896 for the purpose of recording the movement of opium and 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, Shamchun, 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 1907 was Tĺs. 54,381,058 against Tls. 41,971,859 in 1906; Tls. 42,946,800 in 1905; Tls. 43,771,566 in 1904; Tls. 42,507,795 in 1903; Tls. 46,784,280 in 1902, The largest on record was in 1899, viz.: Tls. 56,532,226.
