Leaving China with food supplements (commercial)
Food supplements in commercial quantities must be exported from China under a commercial export declaration with a commercial invoice and, where applicable, a packing list and certificate of origin for preferential tariff treatment at destination. Destination markets regulate supplement ingredients and labelling separately (novel-food rules in the EU, FDA facility registration for the US) — commercial consignments need destination compliance before export makes sense. Carrying commercial quantities as passenger baggage without export documentation risks seizure and misdeclaration penalties on the origin side and duty assessment at destination.
Commercial-quantity Food Supplements (Commercial) may be imported into China through the standard commercial-import framework. Registered importers file the commercial entry via General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) with the applicable HS classification, pay import duty and VAT, and clear at the port of entry. Personal-quantity carriage typically clears under the personal-effects allowance without duty.
