Security Association 2010 August
Dear members and fellow students,
Security is nowadays a hot issue after The World Trading Center was attacked in September,2001 at USA. After that, WCO has established many regulations to avert countries for being threatened again. Recall the before 9-11, the Transportation Security Administration had not been created; nor had its rules and procedures that have engendered so much debate among security professionals as well as airline travelers. "We are NOT SAFER since 9-11," they said. "We have been extremely lucky. They won’t attack us by air next time, but will take advantage of our weaknesses in port security and commercial shipping. Ports, power plants, dams, bridges—they're all vulnerable. They will get here by simply walking across the border from Mexico or Canada." Security is not only protect aircraft, but also the supply chain.
Our association play the leading role in the logistic industry to beware the importance of security related to supply chain. Our Organization was founded by a group of professionals from supply chain management, security management and information technology management in April 2002, with the aim to address the awareness towards emerging security threats on the supply chain industry. In this year, we have contributed to many seminars including Cold Chain Conference 2010 China and Li battery Seminar to promote the common message of security in the whole supply chain to prevent unnecessary loss.
Apart from promoting the security of supply chain to society, our organization has founded Young Members Committee to provide a platform to our members who are mainly from universities studying related discipline. We hope they could broaden their views in our association before they graduate. It is a common phenomenon that our undergraduates concern little in security due to lack of supports in departments. To get the latest information in the industry, our organization hold countless functions. This year, we organized events such as Career Talk of Summer Internship, RFID visit in HKSTP, BBQ gathering to our members and this newsletter was designed by them.
In the future, we will promote much more events and seminars with highlighting the security awareness to industry. Furthermore, we would like to teach some useful skills to our students such as Communication Skills, Presentation Technique to upgrade their performance either in campus or in the society.
With best Regards,
Vice President SCSA

Supply Chain
Security Association 2010 August
W hen the freight forwarders/ agency compa-
nies/ logistic companies are finding their
business partner for trading goods, they will
consider the reliability, quality by company’s background
and certification. A list of quality qualification such as
ISO 9001, ISO 14000 is what we called quality assur-
ance authorized. However, it is outdated because some
occasionally pose a threat to the security and it is not
reliable anymore. In 2005, EU’s provides amongst other
for the creation of an Authorized Economic Operator
(AEO). The legislation stipulates that customs authori-
ties shall grant to reliable traders that are established in
the European Community the status of ―authorised eco-
nomic operator‖. The legislation is coming towards Hong
Kong as AEO is a reliable marker for trading partners of
secure member of supply chain.
What is AEO?
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) is aimed at cus-
toms simplification / security & safety control. It encour-
ages all the parties in the supply chain industry to in-
crease security in exchange for incentives that will im-
prove the efficiency and ultimately reduce costs and
improve partner relationships. The government and
HKC&E are promoting AEO to those related parties and
industries to get the greatest benefit.

The benefit of applying AEO
1. Peer recognition of AEO status
2. Reduced inspection, reduced transit time and lower
storage costs
3. Relaxed standards for pre-arrival and pre-departure
requirements
4. Simplified procedures for Customs declarations
5. More reliable information and more clearly defined
responsibilities
6. Special measures relating to periods of trade disrup-
tion or elevated threat
7. First consideration for participation in any new cargo
processing programs
8. simplified Customs procedure and less Customs in-
tervention.
There is a trend for Hong Kong small /medium business
companies apply AEO to enhance the competitive
advantage because after applying AEO, they can
reduce time for every process.

Security Association 2010 August
Alliance Management Consulting Ltd. (AMC) was appointed by Customs and Excise Department (C&E) in April 2010
to train their auditors on the auditing techniques, methodology, and related ISO standards on supply chain security
and Authorized Economic Operator (AEO).
AEO condition
The World Customs Organization has designed stand-
ards to secure and to facilitate the ever-growing flow of
goods in international commerce. These standards are
set forth in the SAFE Framework, which was adopted by
the WCO Council at its 2005 Sessions. A vast majority of
WCO Member administrations have expressed the
intention to begin the process of implementing the SAFE
Framework provisions. In recognition of the urgency of
launching this new programme without undue delay, the
Council adopted the basic SAFE Framework document
which provides the broad overarching principles con-
cerning security and facilitation of the global supply
chain.
The SAFE Framework incorporates the concept of the
Authorized Economic Operator and provides baseline
technical guidance for the implementation of AEO pro-
grammes at the global level between WCO Members
and the international trade community. It is designed to
serve as a starting point for national AEO programme
implementation and supports the effective application of
the standards that are outlined in Pillar II (Customs-to-
Business Partnerships) of the SAFE Framework.

Authorization will be granted by the national Customs administration after validation of the fulfillment of AEO conditions and requirements.
AEO scheme provides:
a solid platform of international mutual recognition sys-tems
AEO concerns itself with both the security of the supply chain, and other aspects of each individual firm, such as financial standing.

Global situation of AEO
The WCO is an independent intergovernmental body whose mission is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of customs administrations. As at 3 May 2010, 161 WCO members has expressed their intention to implement the WCO Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade. In next three issue, a overview is established in dif-ferent region.
AEO program in Asia - Japan
Japanese government has developed and promoted
AEO Program in close cooperation with the business
sector, aiming at ensuring security while facilitating
legitimate trade. For that purpose, Japan Customs, as a
main entity in the field of international trade, has
developed comprehensive AEO program with
combination of programs for importers, exporters,
warehouse operators, Customs brokers and logistics
operators, such as forwarders and carriers, which are
consistent with the ―SAFE Framework‖ developed by the
WCO.
Under this program, AEO in Japan can enjoy specific
benefits according to its type of AEO, in addition to the
benefits such as increased reputation as a more
compliant and security-oriented company, favorable
consideration in Customs enforcement proceedings and
better relations with Customs.
Programs for importers/exporters provide Authorized
Importers and Authorized Exporters with benefits such
as compliance-reflected reduced examination and in-
spection. Furthermore, ―pre-arrival lodgement of import
declaration and permission‖, ―release of cargoes before
duty/tax payment declaration and duty/tax payment‖ and
―periodical lodgement of duty/tax payment declaration‖
are allowed for Authorized Importers, and the
requirement to deposit cargoes into the Customs area
before export declaration is waived for Authorized
Exporters.
With regard to Authorized Warehouse Operators, it is
allowed to establish additional new bonded warehouses
by just notifying it to Customs while permission is
necessary for non-authorized warehouse operators.
1. Authorized Importers’ Program
2. Authorized Exporters’ Program
3. Authorized Warehouse Operators’ Program
4. Authorized Customs Brokers’ Program
5. Authorized Logistics Operators’ Program
Japan’s AEO Program
Compliance-reflected reduced audits of warehouses are
conducted by Customs, and monthly fee for keeping
Customs warehouses is free for Authorized Warehouse
Operators.
Regarding the Authorized Logistics Operators such as
forwarders, shipping companies, airlines and
transportation companies, processes for customs transit
are simplified. For example, AEO carriers and
forwarders are not required to obtain permission for
each and every customs transit.
As for Authorized Customs Brokers, in case a
non-authorized importer delegates its import clearance
to an Authorized Customs Broker, release of goods is
allowed before duty/tax payment declaration and du-
ty/tax payment. And, in case a non-authorized ex-
porter delegates its export clearance to an Authorized
Customs Broker, and an Authorized Logistics Operator
transports exporting goods to the Customs Area, it is
allowed to file an export declaration without placing
goods into the Customs area.
When AEO has been established in 2005 by WCO,
more and more countries apply this regulation in their
own country. Hong Kong, as a international trading
cities, is following the worldwide trend to adapt the
rules. AEO, without doubt, be most of industries’ target
and it will raise another upsurge.

largest cold chain logistics market.
Our association proudly supported the International
Exhibition on Cold Chain Logistics China 2010.Mr.
Jimmy Pang, Vice President of our association, was
honor to present a speech on the topic of "Risks &
Opportunities of Supply Chain Security" during the
conferences of the exhibition. The management of Cold
chain involved risks and uncertainty. In logistics area, it
is a must to rely on a freezer and refrigerating equipment
installed. With considering respiration from cell, conti-
nental refrigeration is implemented to assure the low
temperature in the car.
With the importation of the relevant facilities,
equipment, supplies &
technology, a well-
organized and upgraded
cold chain logistics
is expected
to reduce
spoilage; retain
the quality of
the harvested
produce as well as
guarantee a cost efficient delivery to
the consumer and enhance the country's food safety
issues. The development of cold chain not only applies
in food industry, but also uses for storing medicine,
vaccine with assurance of best performance. With the
development of vaccine against bird flu, Cold Chain has
being attained an important role to for managing the
supply chain.
I nternational Exhibition on Cold Chain Logistics was
held on 2nd
June to 4th June 2010 at Guangzhou
Jinhan Exhibition Center, Guangzhou, P.R. China. It
is an unique and the most professional exhibition for the
cold chain logistics industry. The most comprehensive
facilities, equipment, technologies and services applied
to the complete cold chain from farm to fork will be
showcased. Gathering the attendance of the key
operators and the specialists of the industry, in particular
those from the cold storages of Guangdong Province as
well as the organizing committee of 2010 Asian Games,
the exhibition does provide the respective suppliers of
facilities & equipment as well as the solution,
technologies & service providers with the best trade
platform to enhance business networking in the world’s

na's pharmaceutical market from 2004 to 2008 an-
nual revenue growth rate of 21%. China's phar-
maceutical market size in the world, ranked ninth.
With regarding to huge pharmaceutical market,
applying cold chain concept in pharmacy is
highlighted.
Example of cold chain in pharmacy

Misunderstanding of
situation
Because of lack of
knowledge in danger goods
awareness among staff, food in
cargo may be affected. For ex-
ample, when delivering a cargo storing
dry ice and frozen food, staff may pack those
cargo with experience as they do not know the
characteristic of dry ice (it should be packed as
Class 9* with UN specification).

RFID centre visit – Automatic identification application
Also, We were honoured to have well-known
professor in RFID research, Prof. George Huang
to share the progress of the state-of-art research-
es and opinions on RFID to our students. The Vice
President of SCSA, Mr. Jimmy Pang, gave an
impressive sharing on RFID application and the
restriction of RFID. He suggested the QR code
which originated from Japan would be better than
RFID technology in this stage. The QR code
applies to fruits and vegetables goods while the
cost is less expensive than RFID. He said both QR
codes RFID not only brings better performance in
business but also convenient life. Participants
discussed the matters of RFID technology and
other potential applications of RFID on automatic
identification with Prof. Huang and Mr. Pang
“RFID changes the supply chain industry radically!”
Vice President of SCSA – Mr. Jimmy Pang
This event allowed our members explore how RFID
works, apply and enhances the business operations and
customer satisfaction. All students widened the board of
knowledge with such valuable visit. There will be more
company visit in the future. You are able to explore
company operations thorough SCSA visiting event.
W ith development of RFID technology, our life
become much convenient. For example,
using Octopus for transportation and
merchandising in supermarket. RFID take a dominant
position in multitude of application for automatic
identification and this application is all surrounding us.
Our YMC members, had the opportunity the newest
technology applying RFID system in the biggest RFID
centre - Hong Kong Science and Technology Park on 6
February. The visit delivered a valuable experience who
broaden our members’ view of the latest application of
RFID on product traceability, ensuring product safety
and quality. The participating members could see vari-
ous RFID model which demonstrated the daily RFID
applications in particular area, like hospitalization, bag-
gage handling system, retailing, jewellery stock, sushi
restaurant, customer service centre and so forth. The
attendants wondered this revolutionary technology
applied in so many industries.
“Very good! This was an excellent trip which provided
much information to us.”
“I suggest this visit should be arranged every year!”

In the beginning, we performed a presentation to
introduce our association and our business partner -
Alliance Management Consulting Limited, which has
jointly organized this programme since 2005.
In second section, undergraduates were divided into
three group for interview by interviewers.
I n May, it is a rush month for most undergraduates
preparing their examination and meeting their dead-
lines. However, a number of companies were
recruiting summer internship at that time. It is hard to
choose whether they caught their time for revision or
attending interview among companies. But if the career is
attractive and inspiring, spare time is possible.
On Wednesday, May 19th, Supply Chain Security
Association in The City University. The programme were
a huge success, with more than 40 undergraduates
studying in various field such as Global Supply Chain,
Why joining SCSA summer internship?
This is typical question for which almost every company
asks. The answer generally was that though this
summer internship, they could develop Critical and
Strategic Thinking, Time and Project Management
Skills, Presentation and Communication Skills as
many companies in supply chain industry support this
internship programme. Supporting companies like Alli-
ance Management Consulting Limited trains students in
varies skills by multi-tasking. It is easy to see why SCSA
internship programme was their choice providing the
best platform to explore their career.
Our Vice-President said he was impressed by the
diversity in age and grade level of the students. Mr.
Ryan Ngan and Mr. Maric were impressed by
enthusiasm and interest of Hong Kong students who
attended the interview. Undergraduates were alike and
left a positive impression and said that they would
introduce to their junior to join this programme next year.

lawyer was available on the website to give advice and
consultation and it save a lot of time in the process. More
interesting, another company recruited mass telephone
operators providing this kind of service. Students
immediately raised a question how a telephone operator
could serve in Law field. It was answered that even a
telephone operator could undergo a simple case when
he/she got a general procedure of Divorce Processing. It
highlighted Divorce, Telephone and Website that mix-
ture of multiply fields generated unpredictable ideas
powered a great influence and implied that though
observation and knowledge can generate many excel-
lent ideas. That is why SCSA was founded.
The development is rapidly change then we expect, it is
recommended students think outside their box when
starting to their career and try to find more opportunity.
Meanwhile, preparing well before the challenge comes.
SCSA would provide a series of talk to train student’s
strategic thinking and brainstorming techniques to help
students not to pay much effort for finding what they
required. SCSA has also been invited in HKU SPACE.
