Border defense mainly checks passports and visas and conducts security inspections. During the customs clearance process, it is best to keep your passport, visa and air ticket together. The specific procedure is: after getting the boarding pass (Boarding Pass), you should go through the border verification procedures. At this time, the border guards will check the relevant documents. Then enter the security gate for security inspection of your hand luggage. Flammable and explosive materials such as hair spray, fruits and vegetables are not allowed on board the aircraft. After passing inspection, you can board the plane with your hand luggage and boarding pass. Sometimes, Air China takes off from Beijing and only goes through border clearance procedures when transiting in Shanghai.
