Well I got a good deal on a R/T to Newark, NJ to Guangzhou $775.00 stop over in Japan for 3 hours. Wife has given me the Shopping list of things to bring for Family. How many packs of Marlboro can I bring in, LOL for her father. I stopped smoking 8 years ago. Feel sorry for the Smokers on a 16 hour flight. Will travel on to Nanning after a few days in Guangzhou.

Good find!!!!

 

What airline is that with? United?

Don't quote me on this, but I think the limit is more than 2 cartons. In the Duty Free store in San Francisco you can buy boxes holding up to 10 cartons. When I went to China I asked the customs guy there, and I think he said I can take that many into the country as well as up to 5 bottles of wine, but it is something that needs to be looked into for future reference for us who travel to China

I was at this website whick has the customs regulations for China. It does not specify a limit, but rather says :

 

Reasonable amounts of money (currently up to $5,000 US), alcohol and cigarettes, cameras, and tape-recorders can be brought into China. Certain valuable items, such as amateur video and camera equipment, computers, and gold, must be declared on the form.

 

 

the website is:

Hope it helps

I used Orbitiz.com and played around with the dates. The main airline is Continental with a Flight from Japan to Guangzhou on Northwest. The flight now is up to $2000.00 but there are some $925.00 flights left traveling different Routes . I live in Trenton can take the train to the Airport and ride the Monorail into the Terminal.

Hello Wayne, first congrats on the trip. Hope that you have a great trip

 

if I remember correctly, on one govt website, and a tour book, it states that you are allowed to bring with you rom the states 200 cigs, but it says nothing about duty free.

 

Now Wayne, when you are in GZ. please stop at Lucy's and have a beer for me, since I have to wait now till April

Found it Squeak! Your right. You can bring 200 cigarettes. If you go over that you'll be charged a duty. I always thought the duty free limit was 2 cartons of smokes and 2 bottles of booze (1L). Looks like the answer is 1 carton and 1 bottle.

Tips for Travelers to the People’s Republic of China

 

I found another one you might be interested in too Squeak...

When to Register With the U.S. Embassy.

You should register at the Consular Section of the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate:

-If you find yourself in a country or area that is experiencing civil unrest, has an unstable political climate, or is undergoing a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or a hurricane.

-If you plan to go to a country where there are no U.S. officials. In such cases, you should register at the U.S embassy or consulate in an adjacent country, leave an itinerary with the Consular Section, ask about conditions in the country that you will visit, and ask about the third country that may represent U.S. interests there.

-If you plan to stay in a country longer than one month.

-Registration at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate makes your presence and whereabouts known, in case it is necessary for a consular officer to contact you in an emergency. During a disaster overseas, American consular officers can assist in evacuation were that to become necessary. But they cannot assist you if they do not know where your are. Registration also makes it easier to apply for a replacement passport, if yours is lost or stolen.

-If you are traveling with an escorted tour to areas experiencing political uncertainty or other problems, find out if registration at the U.S. embassy or consulate is being done for you by your tour operator. If it is not, or if you are traveling on your own, you should leave a copy of your itinerary at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate soon after you arrive.

They over charged you. The round trip to Hong Kong is $560 from Newark. Hop on a train and you will be in Zhenzhen real soon or guanzhou. Man, I am sleepy. Got up at 6:30 am to get back to central to work, should have slept another hour and brought my suite, but I partied till 3:30 am any how. Have fun!

Wayne:

 

 

I hope you have a save flight and a great time in China. Given, the limited opportunity to be with your loved one, every visit is always a special occasion.

 

Thank you for the help you have given us so far in the process, from questions we asked on VisaJourney.com.

 

Please let me know what you think of Continental's flight and service. I have flown Continental (Pittsburgh-Newark-Hong Kong) several times and will flying again on December 9.
