Can you take baby food from Japan to China?

Baby food: japan airports apply the standard 100ml cabin-bag rule (no airport-specific exemption on record). You can take a reasonable amount of baby food, milk and sterilised water in cabin even above 100ml. Containers may be opened for testing. The cabin rule at your Japan departure airport is what matters.

Best packing plan

  • Cabin

    Japan airports apply the standard 100ml cabin-bag rule (no airport-specific exemption on record). You can take a reasonable amount of baby food, milk and sterilised water in cabin even above 100ml. Containers may be opened for testing.

  • Checked

    Bulk baby food and formula travels fine in checked luggage.

  • Border

    Check China customs or food-import rules before you fly — security clearance is not the same as import clearance.

Strictest play: Safest packing plan: keep individual containers at 100ml or less, or put the full-size item in checked luggage.
