香港海關於十月七日偵破一宗案件，涉及一間本地公司在沒有貴金屬及寶石交易商監管制度所需的註冊情況下，進行每宗交易額均為十二萬以上港元的貴金屬及寶石增值加工交易，並拘捕該公司的東主。

Hong Kong Customs yesterday (October 7) detected a case which involved a local company that conducted transactions of value-adding work on precious metals and stones with each transaction value exceeding HK$120,000 without a registration under the Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones Regulatory Regime. The sole proprietor of the company was arrested.

案件仍在調查中。該名被捕人士現獲准保釋候查。

The investigation is ongoing. The arrested person has been released on bail pending further investigation.

根據《打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集條例》（第615章），貴金屬及寶石交易商監管制度已於二○二三年四月一日起實施。任何人如有意在香港經營貴金屬及寶石業務，並在業務過程中在香港進行總額為十二萬或以上港元的交易（不論是支付或收取款項），均須向海關關長註冊。除註冊人外，任何交易商若聲稱為註冊人、聲稱獲授權進行；或進行任何總額為十二萬或以上港元的現金交易或非現金交易，均屬違法，一經定罪，最高可被判處罰款港幣十萬元及監禁六個月。

According to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615), the Regime came into effect on April 1, 2023. Any person who is seeking to carry on a business of dealing in precious metals and stones in Hong Kong and engage in any transaction(s) (whether making or receiving a payment) with a total value at or above HK$120,000 in Hong Kong is required to register with the Commissioner of Customs and Excise. Any dealer, other than a registrant, who claims to be a registrant, claims to be authorised to carry out, or carries out any cash or non-cash transaction(s) with total a value at or above HK$120,000 is liable to a maximum fine of HK$100,000 and imprisonment for six months upon conviction.

香港海關提醒所有交易商，制度的註冊過渡期經已結束。任何貴金屬及寶石交易商必須在成功獲得相關註冊後才可進行總額為十二萬或以上港元的現金或非現金交易。

Hong Kong Customs reminds all dealers that the transitional period for registration under the Regime has ended. Any dealers in precious metals and stones must obtain the relevant registration before they can carry out any cash or non-cash transaction(s) with a total value at or above HK$120,000.
