Custom Declaration Form: something you must fill when you travel to China

Before entering China, travelers must fill in a Custom Declaration Form describing in detail all the luggage and valuables they are bringing with them. One form per family is enough.

All articles listed on the Form must be declared at a place of entry and taken out of China when the traveler leaves. The Form must be retained by the traveler and surrendered to the Customs when leaving the country. Customs clearance shall be based on inspection of the original declaration made at the time of entry.

Unaccompanied baggage should be declared to the Customs as regards quantity and port of arrival, and must be transported into China within six month from the day of the traveler entering China.
