I have not shipped to China, but these are the most current regulations I could find.
I just copied and pasted the entire thing:
It is from the PetTravel.com site
You will also need to contact the USDA department for your state to have them fax any needed forms to your vet. Even if additional forms are not required they are the people who will have the most current information on requirements (the vets have to call them for forms and info)
WARNING: China has recently placed in effect a new rule that all pets must go into quarantine for seven days even if they meet all the requirements of entry. At the end of the seven day the remainder of the 30 day quarantine period can be home quarantine.
Bringing a pet into China is somewhat complicated even if you have the proper veterinary health certificate and immunization record for the pet. We recommend you utlize the services of a company that specializes in the entry process such as Jialian Kennel - www.jialiang.com You may bring only ONE pet (cat or dog) per adult traveling into China. (two adults - 2 pets)
China only reads the encrypted microchip which contains nine digits. It is made by Avid.
NOTE FROM ME: THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHIPS
DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED: 1. International health certificate issued in the originating country showing the name, sex, and breed of the pet. 2. Vaccination record showing that a rabies shot was given within the preceding 12 months, but not less than 30 days before departure. 3. Owner's residential details in China 4. Copy of airway bill (if traveling as cargo) 5. Upon arrival you are required to register your pet with the police department in the city where you will reside.
You may order the necessary forms and instructions for taking your pet to China
Order online at: http://www.pettravelstore.com/store-pet-immigration-forms1.html
NOTE FROM ME: THIS IS THE FORM YOU CAN HAVE THE USDA FAX TO YOUR VET---SO DONT ORDER IT.
QUARANTINE Your pet will be quarantined in the official quarantine station for a minium of 7 days. If your pet shows no signs of disease it will be released to the owner but must be quarantined in the owners home for an additional 23 days. The quarantine fee is RMB 2,000 ($US250.00).
PORT OF ENTRY It is recommend that you enter China with your pets through Shanghai and other provinces may have different regulations or requirements.
TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENTS Having the documents translated into Chinese will speed up the process at immigration. The translated documents should be certified (notarized). .
NOTE FROM ME: YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN WITH THIS, I AM LUCKY I KNOW ENGLISH!!
Also try this site:

Just click on China and go to the PDF for Canine, it has a little more info.
Hopefully, this info will be enough to get you on the correct tract.

It depends on where he is whether or not I would send an animal over. In the city it would be considered very rude because there is not enough space for the people as it is. In the country many of them are very hungry and dogs are just like cattle - his would probably dissapear. Make sure you definiately want to send the dog before you do this.
But yes, there are pet travel agencies. There are laws in every country about pet quarantine, latest vet visits, required vaccinations, travel requirements, etc. For instance, I believe that for a dog to enter China he has to be quarantined for 6 weeks upon arrival. To come back to the US he has to be quarantined for a couple of days. (Those figures may have changed.) You can do a google search for Pet Travel or Dog To China and see what kind of agencies you come up with. It will, in general, be pretty expensive - in the hundreds, possibly thousands, of dollars. It's much more complicated to send a pet overseas than it is to send one domestically.
Good luck!

After some of the videos I've seen on the net lately, I sure wouldn't be sending any dogs to China.
