📝 Important Notes
- •✅ ALLOWED (value limits apply): Cosmetics for personal use can be brought into China. Customs applies value limits rather than item bans, and controls quantities to what is reasonable for personal use.

- •Chinese residents: personal articles obtained overseas are duty-free up to RMB 5,000; the part above the limit (still within reasonable personal use) is subject to duty
- •Non-residents: personal articles that will remain in China are duty-free up to RMB 2,000
- •Over the limit: you must use the Red Channel ("Goods to Declare")
- •Quantity: articles must be for personal use and in reasonable quantities; commercial quantities are treated as goods, not personal articles
- •💡 Tips:
- •Cosmetics are among the most common items that push travellers over the RMB 5,000 limit, so keep receipts and add up the value before you land
- •Passengers with nothing to declare use the Green Channel; personal articles within the customs limit are exempt from duty
- •Follow the carry-on liquids rule (100 mL containers in a 1 L bag)
