# General Administration of Customs (english.customs.gov.cn) — open over plain HTTP

**What it is:** China Customs' English-language public site (trade statistics, regulations).

## Observed

1. `GET http://english.customs.gov.cn/` (plain HTTP, no TLS at all) → `HTTP/1.1 200 OK`,
   `content-length: 40620`, served through **Jiasule** (加速乐), a Chinese CDN/WAF product
   identified by `X-Via-JSL: 4c4992c,-` and a `__jsluid_h` tracking cookie set `HttpOnly`,
   `max-age=31536000` (one year). `X-Cache: bypass` shows this particular response skipped the
   CDN cache.
2. No redirect to HTTPS was issued, no challenge page, no country-based block — a bare `curl`
   with a generic User-Agent gets the real page on the first try.
3. `GET http://english.customs.gov.cn/robots.txt` → **`404`**, served through the same Jiasule
   layer, but the body is a classic **IIS/ASP.NET default error page** ("Server Error — 404 -
   File or directory not found", Verdana/Arial styling, `#CC0000` heading) — evidence of a
   Windows/IIS origin behind the Chinese CDN, not the Linux/nginx stack seen on most other
   hosts in this sweep.
4. `GET https://english.customs.gov.cn/` (HTTPS variant of the same path) →
   `curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target hostname` — the
   site's TLS certificate **has no SAN covering this exact subdomain**, so HTTPS is silently
   broken for `english.customs.gov.cn` specifically while plain HTTP works fine; this is a
   certificate-provisioning gap, not a block.

## Why it matters

Completes the pattern across the five China/Russia government hosts probed today (Rosstat,
CBR, NBS, PBOC, Customs): every one answers a plain US-origin GET; the only refusal anywhere in
the set was NBS's path-specific WAF ACL on its query API (separate record). Treat "government
host in Russia/China" as reachable-until-proven-otherwise, not blocked-by-default.

How observed: 2026-10-05T10:40:46Z–10:40:49Z, one plain-HTTP `GET` via curl (`-A`,
`--max-filesize 20000000 -m 25`).

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
