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 Pudong International Airport recorded its 20 millionth cross-border trip of the year on July 25, marking a 21 percent increase year-on-year and reaffirming its position as the busiest airport in China for international passenger traffic.
Among the 20 million entries and exits, more than 5.6 million were made by international travelers, a significant increase of 44 percent compared with the same period last year.
About 1.46 million overseas travelers entered China under visa-free policies, accounting for more than half of all international arrivals.
To enhance the travel experience for international passengers, the airport's border inspection station has introduced several facilitation measures.
These include pre-arrival categorization of inbound foreign passengers, pre-screening of transit applications, and unified processing of entry and transit at the same counter, significantly improving customs clearance efficiency and reducing wait times.
The airport currently operates more than 580 international flights daily, connecting to over 100 overseas destinations. Several new routes to Central Asia and Europe have been added this year.
