1.  Health Declaration to China Customs

Travelers need to declare the negative test result to China Customs by filling out the Health Declaration Form either on the WeChat mini program of China Customs (scan the QR code below), or at https://htdecl.chinaport.gov.cn/htdeclweb/home/pages/healthDeclare/declare.html, or via the China Customs APP. Please be advised that, if asked to provide contact persons in China and their mobile phone/landline number, one of the options is that you may fill with Contact person: Front Desk Helper of the hotel where you will stay in China, and the hotel sale’s manager mobile and the land phone.
