Terms of Service & Legal / Medical Disclaimer
Important legal boundaries regarding China Customs (GACC) border enforcement and clinical medical advice.
1. Not Official Legal Counsel or Customs Pre-Clearance
ChinaMedsCheck is an independent regulatory reference platform grounded in publicly promulgated statutes of the People’s Republic of China, including General Administration of Customs (GACC) Announcement No. 43 (2010), State Council Decree No. 442 (Regulations on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances), PRC Criminal Law Articles 347 & 357, and CAAC Order No. 6.
Information and printable bilingual documents generated on this site are provided strictly as traveler communication aids. Final authority to inspect, clear, detain, or confiscate any substance rests solely with on-duty GACC customs officers and port border police upon arrival.
2. Zero Legal Protection for Prohibited Substances
Generating a bilingual customs declaration slip or carrying a foreign doctor’s prescription NEVER legalizes substances classified as prohibited in mainland China (including but not limited to Adderall, amphetamine salts, Vyvanse/lisdexamfetamine, CBD oil, and medical cannabis/THC). Travelers are solely responsible for removing prohibited items prior to boarding.
3. Not Clinical Medical Advice
Nothing on ChinaMedsCheck constitutes a physician-patient relationship or clinical medical advice. Never abruptly discontinue or switch maintenance prescription medications (such as ADHD stimulants, benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, or insulin) without consulting your licensed prescribing physician 4 to 8 weeks before international travel.
4. Limitation of Liability
By using ChinaMedsCheck, you agree that the platform and its contributors shall not be held liable for any customs delays, baggage seizures, administrative fines, or medical complications arising from international travel to China.
