Editorial Policy

1. We cite official sources

Every policy claim links to an English-language official source: the National Immigration Administration (transit policy), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (visa-free list), and the State Taxation Administration (tax refund). We do not cite rumors or outdated blog posts for facts.

2. Accuracy & verification

• Country lists, ports and refund-store counts are taken from the official sources linked on each page.
• We state the measurement date and flag that policies are reviewed annually.
• Numbers that change (e.g., the 50-country list, 65 ports, 8,000+ refund stores) are described with their basis, not as permanent fact.

3. Independence from affiliate relationships

China Haul may use booking or affiliate links (for example to travel-booking platforms) as a funding mechanism. This never changes our editorial recommendations. We rank cities, stores and routes by visitor value, not by commission. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labeled.

4. Corrections

If a page is wrong, we correct it and note the change date. Tip us via Contact. Transparency about errors builds the trust that search engines and readers both reward.

5. Update cadence

We review policy pages at least annually and whenever an official source announces a change (e.g., a new visa-free country or a new instant-refund city). Expect 2027 updates to follow the same official-source discipline.
