Transitting through China only - CCC powerbank requirement

[Jleno]

I'm going to be flying Xiamen Air from SIN-AMS transitting through Xiamen for about 5 hours.

China now has strict rules regarding powerbanks needing to have the China CCC certification - those that don't have this certification gets confiscated.

Has anyone transitted through China recently that could confirm whether they are also checking (and confiscating) transitting passengers' powerbanks?

In theory it's domestic flights only.

I've taken a couple of HSR trains and exited China via HGH without my 10k mAh device being confiscated.

But China is a place of YMMV.

I'd suggest just leave your powerbank at home.

Problem solved.

Leave it at home, each checkpoint seems to have its own interpretation of the rules.

Also seems there are even stricter Chinese rules that come into effect in April 2027 and require a 5-yr recommended service life to be printed on the device, as well as other safety tests passed.
So the Chinese might start confiscating CCC devices with no date at some point in the future.

A number of just released Xiaomi devices meet the new standards.
