Note: # The Dutiable Commodities (Amendment) (No. 2) Ordinance 1989 came into force on August 1, 1989 whereby composite products containing liquor, hydrocarbon oil or methyl alcohol as an ingredient are excluded from the application of the Dutiable Commodities Ordinance. With effect from the same date, the Dutiable Commodities (Amendment) Regulations 1989 also came into operation whereby separate licences, currently required for each category of dutiable commodities that are being stored, imported or exported, are replaced by one licence to store, and one licence to import and export, one or more categories of dutiable commodities. Moreover, dealer's and retailer's licences for selling goods to which the Dutiable Commodities Ordinance applies are abolished. As a result of these law amendments, a total of 23 872 licences has been abolished.
