How to use the framework

  1. Confirm Shanghai registration and territorial scope.
  2. Identify the official sector and scenario.
  3. Submit the filing through the competent district channel.
  4. Maintain the required export records and route classification.
  5. Update changed information and submit the required annual summary.

Relationship with national routes

Data outside a published local list may benefit from the regional facilitation mechanism only within the document's scope. Data inside the list is routed to the applicable national mechanism, which may include security assessment, a personal-information export standard contract or certification. Sectoral, important-data and other special controls continue to apply.

What changed from the 2024 edition

Changed

Geographic scope

Previous

The 2024 framework centered on the Shanghai FTZ and Lingang New Area.

Current

The current framework applies citywide through the services-opening pilot.

Practical impact: The mechanism is no longer confined to the former footprint.

Changed

Industry structure

Previous

Reinsurance, international shipping and commerce.

Current

Four sectors, nine scenarios, 29 data subclasses and 109 data items; meteorology is added and international-shipping items are further specified.

Practical impact: The current list responds to additional service-export scenarios with a more explicit data-item structure.

Changed

Ongoing duties

Previous

The former FTZ and Lingang management framework.

Current

Clearer filing updates, incident reporting, annual reporting and district supervision.

Practical impact: Organizations need an operating compliance process after filing.

Changed

Version transition

Previous

The 2024 measures and list controlled activities under the former scope.

Current

The former measures and list are repealed when the current framework takes effect; activities already carried out under the former measures continue to be effective.

Practical impact: Existing activities retain continuity, while new filings and changes must be assessed under the current framework.

05

Practical reading notes

  • Existing activities under the former framework remain effective according to the official Q&A.
  • The complete data-item definitions remain in the official PDF.
  • A filing is not a blanket exemption from other requirements.

06

Official sources

Local metadata is cross-checked against the national CAC negative-list directory. The official Chinese notice and attachment prevail.
