The Circular is hereby issued concerning the decision of the State Council
to carry out adjustment of the provisions concerning personnel who are
sent abroad on official duty, in order to strengthen the control of
imported articles whose importation is under restriction by the state, to
check the indiscriminate sending of personnel and groups abroad, and to
promote the development of an honest and incorruptible atmosphere among
government functionaries.

sent abroad on official duty to exchange a small amount of Renminbi (CNY)
for free foreign currencies.

abroad on official duty, to bring, every three months, into the country
from abroad duty-free a total of two articles, one selected from Category
4 and the other from Category 5 in "A Table of Restricted Quantities for
Articles to be Carried into the Country by the Personnel Going Abroad," as
promulgated by the Customs; the amended provisions now stipulates that
those who have been abroad for full six months (i.e. 180 days) shall be
permitted to bring into the country duty-free a total of two articles, one
from Category 4 and the other from Category 5, but the highest number of
years prescribed for this preferential treatment shall not be exceeded.
3. Beginning from September 10, 1989, all personnel sent abroad on
official duty shall have to act strictly on the amended provisions as
