Entering China compliance checklist
The checklist for China-bound connectivity: filing, data-transfer scoping, and the single contact and escalation path. Not legal advice.
What's inside
- Four checkpoints in order: internal use and circuit scope, ICP filing, grading and data transfer, then delivery and operations.
- A RACI-style matrix that names who owns each step: your business, your counsel, your host, and us.
- Checklists A to D, the questions to ask any provider, what to send for a route assessment, and the official texts to check with counsel.

Four decisions, one order
A China-bound circuit passes through four decisions, and they run in order. Each one names an owner before the next starts; a checklist written as a list of acronyms hides who has to act.
The four checkpoints below match checklists A to D in the PDF. Use the matrix to see who owns each step, then take the questions to your counsel and your host.
The four checkpoints
-
Internal use and circuit scope
Confirm what the circuit carries, who uses it, and which route rung your traffic needs.
-
ICP filing
Decide who hosts each domain and who files. A filing follows hosting, not the circuit.
-
Grading and data transfer
Confirm the MLPS grade for systems in China and the export route for personal information, with counsel.
-
Delivery and operations
Name one contact, a written escalation path, and the lead time after the route assessment.
Who owns which step
| Item | Your business | Your counsel | Host or CDN | Us (connectivity) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Internal use and scope | A/R | C | I | C |
| ICP filing | A | C | R | I |
| Grading and data transfer | A | R | C | I |
| Delivery and operations | A | I | C | R |
The split is confirmed in the quote and with your counsel; it is not a legal conclusion.
Where this fits
The China routing explainer shows how the path is built; the China transit comparison shows what changes between route types. The glossary defines ICP filing and data residency.
This summary scopes the questions. Your counsel and the official texts give the answers; regulations change, so check the current text before you order.
