In short, if you have to carry some personal commonly used drugs in the name of health care products, please be sure to carefully confirm all the ingredients in the drugs you carry, and do not contain any ingredients of CBP illegal drugs. Chinese medicine is here to supplement your knowledge about Chinese medicine. Although CBP does not clearly list Chinese medicine, in fact, many students and parents trust Chinese medicine very much, so it is inevitable to bring a few bottles abroad, or they are entrusted by relatives and friends who have already been overseas, so I am sorry to decline. However, you are advised not to bring Chinese medicine for any reason, because in most cases, it is difficult for CBP officials to confirm the composition of Chinese medicine. Three years ago, a China tourist carrying 16 bottles of Chinese medicine "Compound licorice tablets" was not only repatriated to China, but also banned from entering the United States for five years, which still has amazing significance. As all the students know, Trump has never stopped doing things since he took office. Who knows what CBP officials will do to Chinese medicine with unknown chemical composition after Trump takes office! In addition, some traditional Chinese medicines, such as Zhi Zhi syrup and cough syrup, have indeed been proved to contain ingredients listed as contraband by the FDA. To be on the safe side, I suggest you try not to bring Chinese medicine.

Summary of the list of prohibited substances in CBP: articles containing sensitive ingredients such as anesthetics and hallucinogens, imitations of any American products, commodities in sensitive areas such as Myanmar, wildlife-related products and gold medals are prohibited; It is not recommended to carry: alcoholic substances, Chinese medicines with unknown chemical composition, fresh fruits and vegetables, and simulated cultural relics; Free of charge: clothes, condiments, tea, porcelain tableware, I hope I can help you.
