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.

As China's transit visa-free policy becomes more flexible, Shanghai has witnessed a steady increase in inbound tourism. To enhance the experience for international visitors, the airports have bolstered their services. Pudong Airport, for instance, upgraded its multilingual Wi-Fi services to support eight languages, offering inbound travelers guidance in Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, and Korean on airport transportation and travel services.
Additionally, the two airports now feature three one-stop service centers for foreign visitors, offering "Shanghai Pass" one-day passes, encompassing culture, commerce, tourism, and transportation, and facilitating seamless experiences in dining, travel, and shopping throughout the city.
