Dried American Ginseng to China as a gift
I saw this Q&A on your website
Am I allowed to take some American ginseng as gifts to my Chinese friends?
Answer: No, American ginseng can not be taken into China.
You are not allowed to carry the following animal and plant products when entering or exiting China: ivory, rhinoceros horn, dried sea horse, scales of pangolins, fur or bones of tiger, leopard and wolf, giant clam, Strombus gigas, sea turtle samples, crocodile, products made from the skin of python and goanna, hawksbill products, slice or powder of agilawood, bear gall, musk, dendrobe, fritillaria, cistanch, and American ginseng.
Then in other Q & A's within the website it is said it is ok to bring American Ginseng into China.
What is the correct answer ? Thank you
