How to Send a Fax to China
Chinese government agencies and state-owned enterprises use fax for official communications, particularly for cross-border business where documents bearing company chops (official seals) need to be transmitted securely. Foreign companies doing business in China are often required to submit faxed copies of contracts, letters of authorization, and customs documentation to state-controlled entities. Fax also serves as a reliable channel that avoids the censorship and monitoring challenges associated with some Chinese internet-based communication platforms.
Dialing Instructions
International format: +86 followed by the area code (drop the leading 0) and the local number. Beijing area code is 10 (dial +86-10-XXXX-XXXX), Shanghai is 21 (+86-21-XXXX-XXXX), and Guangzhou is 20 (+86-20-XXXX-XXXX).
Delivery & Timing
Typically 2-4 minutes per page when sending to China from North America or Europe. Transmission can occasionally take longer due to routing across international gateways.
Legal & Regulatory Information
China's Electronic Signature Law of the People's Republic of China provides the legal basis for electronic communications and signatures, establishing when electronic documents carry the same weight as physical originals. Faxed documents bearing official company chops remain legally significant for most commercial and government transactions.

Faxing to China — FAQ
In China, the official company seal (gongzhang or chop) has greater legal authority than a signature alone. Government agencies and state-owned enterprises require the company chop on faxed documents to authenticate them as binding. Without the chop, a faxed document may be considered informal or incomplete.
Fax transmissions to China are generally unrestricted for normal business purposes. However, politically sensitive content may attract scrutiny. For standard trade, legal, and financial documents, fax is a straightforward and widely accepted channel used daily by businesses operating in China.
