Almost all the customers come from Brazil, notes Yu Feng-lin, who runs a shop selling Hong Kong products. Because of Brazil's large foreign debt, imports of luxury goods (like cigarettes or perfume) or products made in Brazil (electronics) are restricted or prohibited. So Brazilians come to Bridgehead to shop.
「可以說百分之九十九的客人，都來自巴西」，開設香港禮品行的余鳳麟解釋，巴西因為外債多，奢侈品如菸、酒、香水等，或她本國有生產的工業品，如電子零件，全限制或禁止進口，單幫客於是川流不息地過橋來「跑貨」。
