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.
