Civil Aviation Administration of China: Power banks without 3C certification or recalled models banned on domestic flights
To ensure the safety of aviation operations, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has issued an urgent notice. Starting June 28, passengers are prohibited from carrying power banks that lack a 3C certification label, have unclear 3C labeling, or belong to recalled models or batches on domestic flights. (For details, please visit the official website of the State Administration for Market Regulation's Defective Product Recall Technical Center at www.samrdprc.org.cn/xfpzh/xfpgnzh)
Pudong Airport and Hongqiao Airport will enforce the requirements of this notice to ensure passenger safety. We kindly ask all passengers to comply with this notice by carefully checking the certification label, brand, and model of your power banks before traveling. Please do not bring non-compliant power banks on board. Remove your power bank before security checks to prevent travel delays.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Shanghai Port welcomed 42.4 million inbound and outbound passengers during 2016, up 12.9 percent year-on-year, according to statistics released by Shanghai General Station of Immigration Inspection. This is higher than the 2015 record of 37.5 million.
Since the implementation of the new 144-hour transit visa exemption at Shanghai in January 2016, an estimated 35,000 foreign nationals have entered under the policy, 90 percent higher than the number of foreigners using the 72-hour visa-free policy in 2015.
Likewise, foreign cruise travelers are now allowed a 15-day transit visa exemption. Since the new policy, over 6,000 foreign cruise travelers have entered the city.
Immigration inspection efficiency was also improved as more self-service facilities were installed.
Besides its 15 self-service channels at Terminal 2, Shanghai Pudong International Airport installed 12 more in Terminal 1, allowing foreign travelers to clear customs in as little as 10 seconds.
According to statistics, about 2.25 million passengers entered the country using self-service channels in 2016, up 93 percent from 2015.
