- •Vacuum sealing, pasteurization and a small quantity do not remove the prohibition. The listed exception requires approval from the competent Chinese authority plus an official quarantine certificate from the exporting country or region.
- •Powdered infant formula is a different case: follow its separate personal-use guidance rather than this liquid-milk rule.
