| Leaving China |
|
Departure is relatively much simpler. As mentioned above, you have
to take out the things that you had declared with the copy of your
Customs Luggage Declaration Form which you filled in on your arrival.
If any item is missing, a certificate by the relevant department
is required (for instance, a certificate from the police is required
if something is stolen); otherwise, you have to pay import duty
according to the Custom regulations.
|
|
| China has strict regulations on some articles for export,
such as cultural relics, medicinal materials, gold, silver, or antiques
for export. The cultural relics that are forbidden to be taken out
of China include antiques earlier than the Qing Dynasty and ancient
paintings and calligraphy (also some modern ones). Keep the receipt
of the antiques you bought so that you can show them on departure.
These antiques bought in shops which can be exported usually carry
a red wax seal. For those you may buy on free markets, you have to
show them at the customs to avoid trouble. |
|
| Travelers who want to change Renminbi (RMB) back to
foreign currency at the airport before leaving China will be required
to show the exchange slip provided when they exchanged foreign currency
into RMB on arrival or at banks. |
|
| You may depart from the same port of your arrival or
others. The procedures are the same. |
