The quota itself cannot be separately transferred, bought, sold, or leased out; as a form of administrative permission, it cannot be traded independently of the holder. The only compliant pathway is to acquire equity in the Hong Kong or Macao enterprise that holds the "Yue Z" quota and complete the necessary changes regarding equity, business registration, traffic administration records, and customs filings. "Yue Z" quotas held by individuals are generally non-transferable and non-inheritable. Private arrangements to lease or borrow quotas are violations; such quotas may be summarily revoked, and there are also risks regarding debt and vehicle ownership.
