Wondering what you can do if you happen to carry items prohibited or restricted on flights, and only learn of relevant regulations after arriving at an airport? Beijing Capital International Airport ("Capital Airport" for short) provides both domestic and international departing passengers with a temporary storage service for such items.

During security screenings at the Capital Airport, if passengers are identified carrying items not permitted on board but wish to retain them, such as valuable lighters, alcohol, non-controlled cutting tools, and cosmetics and household chemical products in containers larger than 100 milliliters, they can store these items at the airport for a limited period—generally up to 30 days. For a detailed list of such items, check the Self-Service Security Check section of the Capital Airport's mini-program or consult security staff on site.

On June 28, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued new regulations, prohibiting passengers from carrying power banks without 3C certification markings, with unclear 3C markings, or from recalled models/batches. For these power banks, passengers can choose to mail them at express delivery counters before security checks or store them temporarily at passenger service centers. It should be noted that the temporary storage period for a power bank is seven days. The Capital Airport has two passenger service centers, one on the west side of the first floor of the parking building for Terminal 3, and the other on the basement level of Terminal 2.

In addition to temporary storage, the passenger service centers also provide lost-and-found services for travelers. If you lose items at the Capital Airport, you may call +86-96158 or 96158 and select the "Lost and Found" option, or visit the Passenger Service Center of Terminal 2 or 3.
