My power bank is a famous international brand.

Brand reputation does not replace CCC marking requirements for domestic flights. Check the visible marking and recall status before travel.

Security says the mark is unclear.

Unclear CCC markings can be treated as noncompliant. Do not argue at the checkpoint; use airport disposal or storage options if available.

China Power Bank Rules for Domestic Flights

A current guide to China domestic flight power bank rules, including CCC markings, recalled models, carry-on limits, capacity markings, and airport-security risk.

Updated 2026-06-27

Quick Summary

Domestic flights require clear CCC markings and compliant capacity handling; carry power banks in hand luggage only.

Direct Answer

For China domestic flights, check your power bank before you reach airport security. CAAC announced that from June 28, 2025, passengers are prohibited from carrying power banks without CCC markings, with unclear CCC markings, or from recalled models or batches on domestic flights. General lithium-battery capacity rules also matter: airlines commonly distinguish 100Wh or less, 100Wh-160Wh with approval, and over-limit items. Keep power banks in carry-on, never checked baggage, and do not assume a foreign-bought power bank is accepted just because it is a known brand.
