You might wish to schedule a side trip to Hong Kong to shop the local Yaumatei Jade Market or one of the established dealers elsewhere in the territory. The Hong Kong economic rules remain pretty much free of the fetters imposed elsewhere in China.

I'd only suggest that you know what kind of jade you wish to purchase and how to go about authenticaing it before you walk into a stall or shop. Otherwise, it is my understanding that Hong Kong retains its British style laissez faire-type of economy. Jade is not on any prohibited list of exports as far as I know.

I've included the link for the Hong Kong Tourism Bureau's jade market page herewith.

Best regards,

Bill H.
