A black license plate refers to a vehicle with a black background on its license plate. Below are the application requirements for black license plates: 1. Conditions for one black license plate: Foreign, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan merchants who have invested a certain amount in establishing businesses in mountainous areas of Guangdong Province, or a certain amount in non-mountainous areas, may be permitted to apply for one Hong Kong private car license plate for entering and exiting mainland China during the contract validity period. For investments in Guangdong Province reaching a certain amount, each merchant may apply for one Macau private car license plate for entering and exiting mainland China during the valid contract period. 2. Conditions for two black license plates: Foreign, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan merchants with exceptionally large investments may be granted additional quotas for Hong Kong and Macau private car license plates for entering and exiting mainland China. Specifically, for investments in mountainous areas of Guangdong Province reaching a certain amount, two Hong Kong private car license plates for entering and exiting mainland China may be applied for during the contract validity period.
