From power bank to cash: Russian tourists revealed that will not pass customs in China

Checking the external battery and baggage contents will help you avoid any problems during your trip to China. About this edition KU66 told the representative of the travel agency Elena Chernenko. According to her, part of the difficulties arise from the fact that travelers do not study local requirements in advance.

From June 28, 2025, restrictions on power banks without Chinese 3C certification apply on domestic flights in China. European or American markings do not replace it. Tourists are advised to make sure that the appropriate designation on the case is well read.

External batteries are carried in hand luggage. For devices up to 100 Wh, a separate airline permit is not usually required. If there is no suitable power bank, it can be purchased or leased upon arrival.

Quarantine restrictions apply to fresh vegetables and fruits, meat and dairy products, seeds and seedlings. Buying such goods as souvenirs does not exempt from the requirements.

The rules also apply to cash. At the same time, the procedure for importing yuan and foreign currency differs, so before traveling, it is necessary to clarify the current limits and conditions for declaring.

Chernenko also advised to prepare the smartphone in advance: set up Alipay and WeChat Pay, install a translator and Baidu Maps or Amap cards. Internet access will be required for calculations, calling a taxi and navigation. The issue of communication is better to solve before departure, and to charge devices to take a universal adapter.

Before departure, tourists are recommended to check the current requirements of Chinese customs and the selected carrier: the conditions for the transportation of electronics and individual goods may change.
