A globe is a map. In China, that makes it a regulated product.
Under China Map Management Regulations (State Council Order No. 664), products carrying map graphics must be reviewed before export, and the approved map must display a review number on the product. Customs checks this. A shipment without a compliant map can be seized and destroyed.
Every world map on our globes comes from standard, state-reviewed map data and carries a map review number. Approval documents are kept on file and can travel with your shipment.
We print the China-standard world map by default. If your market has specific requirements on map content or boundaries, please raise them before ordering so we can confirm in advance what is possible.
Seizure, delayed clearance and re-shipment cost far more than any unit-price difference. A compliant map is the cheapest insurance available in this trade.
