You are about to leave for the great empire and do not know what you can take with you or bring back from there because of Customs? Here are some answers …
Welcome to the land where everything is made to removal without any control or substantially all (when there are, there is corruption behind in any case ^ ^).
So despite all the efforts the Chinese government allegedly counterfeit cons since 1995, do not ask as many questions as if you were crossing the border or Japanese American.
Leaving for China
To reach China, the two main concerns are: how can I bring, and what can I bring?
For the weight, look on your ticket (even if it is and electronic must be marked 20K somewhere, for example), but in general it is limited to 20kg, sometimes 25 or 28 as appropriate and by agencies, with a fine kilo very expensive in case of surpluses. In practice, I allowed myself 8 kg of surplus between London and Paris and it has happened, even if it took long enough that I argue with the guy from Air France very accommodating.
For business to take, see What to bring to China?. Just know that they have no right to bring back the meat and cheese may not pass through customs. But you can still try putting them in the hold, it is likely that this passes without incident until you put your dripping reblochon love.
Release of Chinese territory
Finally, what is returned from China, then do it yourself! The control is almost nonexistent. Already in terms of weight, you totally do not care. I came back with 28kg of Shanghai with a huge bag and obviously very heavy saw my pain to put on the carpet and the guy had not even turned the scales to weigh.
In general, if not for such visas, the customs will reconcile if you would leave a small tip, so be in order or he will see in the European twists a cash cow. Or master the Chinese to negotiate with him ^ ^.
Finally, for what is counterfeit, I encourage you not to buy over there but there are times when one has no choice (counterfeiting is so second nature out there that I could not even take a pair of socks not counterfeit). If you have no choice do not take large amounts either.
Namely that customs do not bother (or less) about the clothes you wear on you (which may be more practical to reduce the false rolex rotten that you’ve bought in the street). You should also know that you have every right to buy fake brand name products with names that are diverted many in China, between Adada, Pamu, Mupa or another.
Finally, no problems in general to leave the country unless you are unlucky and you control (that does not happen to me once on 4 Transition to Chinese airports when I’m done digging at least 6 After 3 passages on the Tokyo Narita airport!)
By cons, you should know that the market value allowed for entry into France is 180 €. There are no restrictions for entry into Chinese soil, moreover, it is advisable to keep receipts for major purchases.
Go to conclude this little article on customs, here is a quote from the “Beijing Review” which really makes me laugh:
“From a legal perspective, two points create the specificity of China compared to other countries. Firstly, China pursues a multilateral protection, that is to say, it protects intellectual property also import and export. Most countries control only imported goods, while China uses the protection of goods imported and exported and the majority of violations were found to export. This shows that China is a responsible big country as well as its customs. ”
Like what the difference between what is said and what is applied is huge in China.
In short, the final word: fill your bags of Chinese souvenirs for your interior or offer your loved ones! It costs nothing, they are wonderful (although the quality is not outside most of the time) and you can bring tons of trouble-free.
