Q: Red or green channel at the custom?

When you enter China, and you bring coffee and stuff with you, do you go through the red channel or the green channel for customs?

Green.... actually there's been many times that there's not even a person sitting at the customs area to even pretend to look work. Unless it's anything beyond what would look like it is more than just personal use, the Chinese really don't care.

I've never been stopped in customs. Thinking back, I could have smuggled in so much cocaine...

i used the green , crap they want you to declare everything. no one looked at me. BTW coffee is used to confuse the drug sniffing dogs,which i never saw either.
OFF TOPIC,, you know how some customs or immigration officers can be such pricks. When I was leaving I told the female img. officer that I didn't want to leave and since no one welcomed me to China, she should plead wih me to stay,,( in a fun way), she just laughed and said 'Ted don't leave China", so I'm going through security and I have lile 50 guards going over me, up and down off the little stand. I think they just wanted to see my ass.. so I tell them the same story and the entire security crew lines up in front of me and said "Ted don't eave China",, phuck I wish I had filmed it.

I always go green and have never had anything checked. I must bring in commercial quantities of cheese and coffee every time.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
