Drones and green coffee beans

Hello, i will be flying into Shanghai coming from Singapore next week for holiday. Will I be able to bring in my portable drone with me along with 2 batteries? The drone weighs 1.64 lbs (743 g) and the batteries are lithium polymer and 43.5Wh each.
Im also wanting to visit local coffee roasters in Shanghai and shop around green coffee beans from India that my wife and I are trying to sell to roasters. I will be bringing in 600g of raw green coffee beans with me. Will there be any issues going through customs? Thanks.

For portable drone, you'd better not take that. I heard that this cannot go through the immigration check.
For green coffee beans, these are forbidden items. The coffee beans belong to seeds. And seeds are not allowed to be brought in.

Thanks for your response. I actually brought my drone and had no troubles upon arrival into Shanghai. Went through immigration and through the x-ray machines without any questions. But I also talked to some locals while i was in Shanghai and they told me that it is not allowed to fly drones in any public places (parks etc.) but if you are at any areas with not that many people and not bothering anyone then its ok.
