Be careful here. I had my docs OK's at RDU but got blocked in ORD (connection to PVG) because they kept refusing to read past the first section of TIMATIC. Took a lot of persuasion and a few phone calls, but then allowed onboard ONLY if we agreed to pay for any fines/airfares if rejected by China. Nothing happened when we arrived.
