Tips for China-bound Travelers:
Pre-boarding Nucleic Acid Test: All China-bound travelers will need to take nucleic acid test for COVID-19 within 48 hours before boarding, and can only travel to China when your test result is negative or after it turns from positive to negative. Please always bring the proof of your negative COVID-19 test result with you for inspection.
Health Declaration to China Customs: You are required to declare your negative test result to China Customs by filling the Health Declaration Form on the WeChat miniprogram of China Customs, or at https://htdecl.chinaport.gov.cn/ , or via the China Customs APP.
Inspection upon Entry: You can go through customs with your health declaration result, and China Customs may check your proof of negative COVID-19 test result. If you pass the health declaration and entry inspection, no further requirements will be imposed. If there are anomalies in your health declaration or you are showing symptoms such as fever, you are required to take an antigen test by China Customs. Those whose results are positive will need to self-quarantine or seek medical treatment as notified by the authority. Those whose results are negative will go through routine quarantine inspection by China Customs in accordance with the Frontier Health and Quarantine Law and other laws and regulations.
