Entry Registration Cards: another paper you should fill when you travel to China

On arrival in China, travelers must fill in Entry Registration Cards, and present passports, visas and quarantine certificates for inspection. All luggage, goods and packages must be checked by the quarantine inspectors before being allowed to enter China. Entry of travelers with VD, leprosy or infectious pulmonary tuberculosis is prohibited.

Those who wish to bring into China old and waste materials, food, micro organisms, biological products, portions of the human body, blood and/or its products, or animals that may spread infectious diseases among humans must declared them in full detail.

Travelers from areas with epidemic yellow fever must show valid certificates of inoculation against this disease. Those with symptoms of fever, diarrhea or vomiting, or rashes must declare this information clearly.

Travelers without quarantine certificates will be examined by the quarantine station designated by the Customs before being allowed to enter China.

Entry is forbidden to articles prescribed as dangerous, poisonous and/or harmful by Chinese law; those who have such articles must declare them to the frontier inspection station. When arriving at hotels, travelers should check in according to the local regulations.
