Rose · Answer

Bangkok-Wuhan-San fransisco qualifies for the free transit in China, and you don't need visa. Please contact with the airlines to ask if your luggage will be delivered to the final destination directly.

Thankyou Rose, does that mean even if i have to clear customs that i am eligible for transit visa free entry?

Wilson · Answer

Yes, you are supposed to clear customs.
