Customs & Packing

Check herbal materials and preparations separately

Personal-use limits differ between raw Chinese medicinal materials and preparations; ingredient restrictions still apply even with prescriptions.

Travel question: Check herbal materials and preparations separately

Do not mix up per-item, total-type, container and treatment-period limits. Animal or plant ingredients and controlled drugs may need separate approval.

Why is this rule in place?

Medicine, quarantine and protected-species rules can overlap.

What should travelers do?

Carry original packaging, ingredients and prescriptions. Ask Customs, TFDA and quarantine in advance for larger quantities or animal ingredients.
