Not unlike the USA, Europe or Japan, China has implemented new security procedures for all cargo coming into, going out of, or passing thru Chinese ports and airports as of 1 June 2018. Failure to comply with requirements will result in non-loading of cargo onto vessel or aircraft. Please take note of the information required:

| For Consignor | Company Code, Phone Number | Mandatory |
| Contact Person’s Name and Phone Number | Mandatory | |

- United Kingdom – Company Number or VAT Number
- United States – EIN (Employer Identification Number)
