Both the import licence and the removal permit
must be presented to the Customs and Excise
Department before the shipment is released.

(c)
Workers involved in the handling of radioactive
substances which are being moved within Hong Kong are
protected under Regulation 7 of the Radiation (Control of
Radioactive Substances) Regulations which provides, amongst
other things, that the amount of radioactive substances
being moved must be within acceptable safety limits.
In addition, "The Regulations for the Safe
Transport of Radioactive Materials", issued by the International
Atomic Energy Agency, set down standards of safety which
provide an acceptable level of control of radiation hazards
to the general public, transport workers, property and the
environment that are associated with the transport of radioactive
substances. These Regulations relate to the transport of
radioactive substances by land, sea and air. They are applied
internationally and exporters must comply with them before
they are allowed to export radioactive substances. These
safeguards provide the necessary protection to local workers
handling radioactive substances on arrival.
