72h visa-free transit

Hi, I'm from Europe. On April I'm planning travelling back from DPRK to Europe (Finland) via Beijing airport. According to my flight ticket information technically between my flights I have 1h over 72h limit - I'm arriving on 9.04.2016 9:55am and I'm leaving on 12.04.2016 at 10:55am. But the fact is that I will arrive to airport earlier before the flight and I will pass border controls within permitted 72h. Is it ok for me still to apply for 72h free transit? Thanks!
