When Would I Need to Apply for a Cross-Border Permit?

To comply with China's laws and regulations on cross-border network communications, you need to apply for a cross-border permit before you can buy a bandwidth package for communications between the Chinese mainland and another country or region. Cloud Connect is now live in four geographic regions, and a cross-border permit is required in the following scenarios:

  • Network communications between the Chinese mainland and Asia Pacific
  • Network communications between the Chinese mainland and Southern Africa
  • Network communications between the Chinese mainland and western Latin America

To apply for a cross-border permit, you need to provide related files stamped with your company's official seal and submit them online. China Unicom, a cross-border business partner of HUAWEI CLOUD, reviews and approves the application online within one working day. After the application is approved, you can buy bandwidth packages.
