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.

Covering 220,000 square meters, the facility integrates advanced digital management systems, cutting-edge automation technologies, and rigorous international service standards. Its objective is to set a global benchmark for Smarex operations, thereby supporting the operational efficiency of Shanghai's burgeoning international aviation hub.
Equipped with 75 unmanned forklifts and four high-speed sorting lines, the Smarex processes over 10,000 parcels per hour, while RFID tracking and automation reduce workforce requirements by more than 50 percent.
The Smarex also features a 15,000-square-meter cold storage facility with temperature ranges from -60°C to 25°C, enabling precise handling of pharmaceuticals and fresh products, and is supported by AI-based security inspection systems for faster clearance.
In coordination with customs authorities, Smarex streamlines inspection procedures to shorten clearance times, while Swissport's global network across 34 countries and 126 cargo stations supports efficient international trade flows.

The Smarex connects airports, airlines, freight forwarders and cross-border trade players, forming a coordinated logistics ecosystem with service targets of one-hour local, three-hour regional, 24-hour national and 48-hour global delivery.
With Shanghai's air cargo volume reaching 4.5 million metric tons in 2025, ranking second among global cities, the hub strengthens supply chain resilience, supports high-level opening-up and industrial upgrading in Shanghai.
