>China, among which some have used ATA, and some used SZV. Those robots
>are now in the process of custom declaration, and we are expected to
>receive the robots soon. However, we've foreseen that a large number
>of teams would bring robots to China in their checked luggage. After
>checking with Airport Custom Office, we were informed of the following
>information:
>
>1.       The security check at the airport have been strengthened
>lately, every bag and passenger would be checked.
>
>2.       For items need to declare at the custom, a deposit of the
>actual value of the items need to be paid before they are allowed to
>be brought into China.
>
>We have been worked closely with the Airport Custom Office, in order
>provide a easier pathway for teams' custom declaration. It was
>requested by Custom Office that we need to provide the following
>information in advance:
>
>a.       The name of the team members, flight numbers of the onward
>and outward flights, arrival time, departure time, port of entry and
>port of departure.
>
>b.       List of all items to be brought into China
>
>We've sent several emails to teams to ask them to provide the
>information indicated above, unfortunately, only a few teams replied
>the emails and provided the information required. Is it possible you
>could let teams know the importance of providing the information in
>advance, so that we can make sure all robots can arrive in Suzhou for
>the competition? We would be grateful if we could get the information
>ASAP.
