Bringing a pet to China: import rules
China is a case-by-case destination, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are the most frequent endpoints. GACC sets the rules, with city-level quarantine variation and shifting permit requirements. Microchip, current rabies vaccination, and an import permit are baseline. Pets arriving at major airports typically undergo a regulated quarantine window. The route works well when sequenced through experienced local agents who track current rule changes.
