checking knives on domestic flight in china.

Question

My friend tried to take 3 knives(all closed and taped up) in a checked bag from Xining to Beijing but they were taken out and I had to pick them up. The postal service doesn't send Knives so I am know trying to figure how to send them back to America. I thought you could take knives in checked baggage though? Any thoughts on why they weren't allowed on?

Alan · Answer

Yes, knives can be taken in the checked lugguage. However, they are not allowed to be taken as carry-on luggage, for the safety reason. So you needn't send them back to USA. When you return, you can put the knives in your checked luggage and bring them back to USA.
