Starter activities in China
These rows prove the country hub works as a useful browse page before the full dataset is researched.
drive without licence
China does not accept an international driving permit on its own, and foreigners need a temporary or formal Chinese driving licence based on a valid overseas licence and the required procedures.
bringing duty free goods
China Customs allows passengers to bring certain personal articles into the country within the duty-free scope. Goods above that scope may still be released, but only after customs duty is paid.
bring electronics without declaring them
China’s customs rules exempt only personal articles within the duty-free scope. Goods that exceed that scope are released only after customs duty is paid, and import goods must be declared to Customs.
bring food into a country
China Customs says food, medicine and other articles coming from epidemic-stricken areas or harmful to people or livestock, or likely to spread disease, are prohibited. Food entry therefore depends on the type and origin of the product.
bring tobacco over the allowance
China Customs says passengers may bring in 400 cigarettes, or 100 cigars, or 500 grams of smoking tobacco duty-free. Personal articles above the duty-free scope are released only after customs duty is paid.
