The country is doing away with entry and exit permits for transporting corpses to streamline procedures and enhance administrative efficiency, a Frontier Health and Quarantine Law draft amendment said.

The draft was submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), the top legislature, for deliberation on Sunday.

The existing law requires consignors or agents to obtain an entry or exit permit from relevant authorities before they transport a corpse or human remains across the country's borders.
