KOWLOON FRONTIER DISTRICT OF

THE CHINESE MARITIME

CUSTOMS

This is the inclusive name given to the Chinese 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, Shaüchung, 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 1912 was Hk. Tls. 40,048,784, as compared with Hk. Tls. 44,247,708 in 1911; Tls. 53,881,301 in 1910; Tls. 49,653,681 in 1909; TỈs. 53,477,376 in 1908; and Tls. 54,381,058 in 1907. The largest on record was in 1899, viz., Tls. 56,532, 226.
