No. Laser jammers are illegal in China under the Road Traffic Safety Law and Regulations on the Administration of Road Traffic Safety. The Ministry of Public Security (MPS) classifies them as “radio interference devices,” prohibiting their manufacture, sale, or use. Enforcement includes fines up to ¥2,000 and vehicle confiscation.
Key Regulations for Laser Jammers in China
- Prohibition under MPS Decree No. 123 (2020): Classifies laser jammers as “electronic interference devices,” banning their import, distribution, or operation. Violations trigger administrative penalties under the Administrative Punishment Law.
- Customs Enforcement (2024-2026): China Customs targets online marketplaces (e.g., Taobao, JD.com) for illegal sales, with AI-driven monitoring for keywords like “激光干扰器” (laser jammer). Recent seizures include 5,000 units from Shenzhen warehouses.
- Local Traffic Enforcement: Public security bureaus (e.g., Beijing, Shanghai) conduct roadside checks using spectrum analyzers. Offenders face immediate vehicle impoundment and license suspension under Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law.
Non-compliance risks extend to corporate liability: manufacturers or distributors may be blacklisted by the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). International travelers should note that even possession without use can result in detention under Article 37 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law.
