Yes, it is allowed, this is completely common practice, as there are no restrictions on carrying medications in the cabin of an aircraft to/from China. But to avoid problems, you need to follow several simple but strict requirements.

China's customs service and other countries monitor the import of medications, and here is what you should consider so that your checked baggage and hand luggage do not lead to additional checks:

  • Medications for personal use. It is allowed to carry a volume sufficient for the period of stay.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is the main condition. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be branded. Medications loose in a bag will lead to immediate questions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your key document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially with strong effects, psychotropic or hormonal, be sure to bring a prescription or doctor's note with you, with a stamp. It is better if it is translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are intended for your personal use and not for sale.

In addition, consider the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: transporting liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in hand luggage is not allowed, this category includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If you have such items with your medications, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, observe moderation with the quantity and weight of medications, so as not to accidentally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your airline ticket. Typically, it is allowed to carry hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this rule may vary among individual airlines and different fares, so check it according to your airline ticket before the trip.
