Cross-Border Permit Overview

What Is a Cross-Border Permit?

In accordance with the laws and administrative regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of the People's Republic of China, only three major operators in the Chinese mainland are allowed for cross-border communication. A cross-border permit is required if resources outside the Chinese mainland need to access your resources in the Chinese mainland.

To comply with China's laws and regulations on cross-border communication, you need to apply for a cross-border permit before you can buy a bandwidth package for communication 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:

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

To apply for a cross-border permit, you need to prepare the required materials stamped with your company's official seal and submit an application. China Unicom will review and approve the application within one working day. After the cross-border permit is approved, you can buy bandwidth packages.

Constraints on Cross-Border Permits

  • The content of the contract for applying for the cross-border permit cannot be changed.

    The Cloud Connect Cross-Border Circuit Service Agreement is a standard contract confirmed with China Unicom Shenzhen Branch and cannot be modified.

  • The application materials cannot be downloaded, so you must keep them properly in your local PC.
  • The application materials for the cross-border permit do not need to be signed and sealed by Huawei Cloud.

    Huawei Cloud works with China Unicom to enable communication across borders. China Unicom provides the network circuit services and reviews and archives the application materials for cross-border permits under the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
