Official regulations on what you can bring into China
According to the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China, the Provisions of the Customs of the People's Republic of China on Customs Clearance of Inbound and Outbound Passengers and other relevant laws and administrative regulations, the baggage and articles of inbound and outbound passengers must enter or exit the country through a place with customs and be subject to customs supervision.
The list of prohibited articles from entering and leaving the country and the list of restricted articles from entering and leaving the country of the People's Republic of China (Order No. 43 of the General Administration of Customs) are linked as follows:
Special attention is required to:Customs has issued information prohibiting the entry of wild sea cucumbers and American ginseng into China in any form。Attention!It's in any form!Regardless of whether it is fresh or air-dried, it is recommended that you do not leave it to chance.
There have been Chinese who have returned from North America who have been detained "rhubarb locks" because they brought American ginseng, and the confiscation of things is light, and the fines outweigh the losses. All Chinese who are planning to return to China to visit relatives for the Chinese New Year must pay attention to check the customs prohibition list before getting on the plane.
But don't panic!After all, there are only a few people who have been investigated, and most people can still pass the test smoothly. Even if you are found, just actively cooperate with the inspection, and pay the tax proportionally according to what you bring.
I wish you all a safe and smooth return home!
