Numbers are shown in their China-domestic format. Short codes and 400 numbers may not connect from abroad; use the official website instead. Hours are China local time. Numbers have not been test-called.

Enquiry and collection details

The published customer hotline operates around the clock; collection-counter hours must be checked separately. Search results show item categories, with details checked by baggage staff. The site specifies identity and authorization documents for collection: confirm the current list with the holding office. Missing checked baggage uses a separate enquiry process.

Information to prepare

Gather the flight number, date, departure and arrival airports, seat or precise last-seen location. Keep your boarding pass, a photo and a private identifying feature. Give a reachable alternative number or email, not passwords, verification codes or publicly visible full identity-document numbers.

If you have left China

Ask the holding office to confirm physical receipt, the reference, collection point and deadline before arranging a trip. Check whether a named friend or representative may collect. International delivery depends on the item and destination, particularly for batteries: found does not automatically mean shippable.

A message you can send in Chinese

Replace the brackets with your details. Share only what is necessary through a verified channel. This is an enquiry, not a letter of authorization.
