Legal Status of Peptides
NMPA regulates peptides under strict pharmaceutical controls. Beijing (PEK), Shanghai (PVG), and Guangzhou (CAN) customs are rigorous — undeclared injectables risk seizure. Some peptides are entirely prohibited. Travel here requires comprehensive Chinese-language documentation and ideally local medical contact.
For the wider picture, see our international peptide travel guide covering customs and prescription requirements country-by-country.
