(posted twice for fast response)

Why, is someone in Shanghai waiting for his\her breakfast?

[RATTER15]

I doubt it very much!!

[chrisgel]

I don't think so.
Food prohibited from entering into China: Fresh fruits, eggplant vegetables, living animals (dogs and cats excluded), products made of animals and plants, pathogenic micro-organisms of animals and plants, insect pest and other harmful organisms, animal carcasses, soil, materials of transgenic organisms, relevant plants and animals in countries and regions where there is an epidemic, and products of such plants and animals, and other articles that require inspection; Unsanitary foods, medicine or other articles; those imported from the epidemic area; and other foods or medicines that may produce or breed infectious diseases.

You have to make a declaration that there's absolutely no danger to life before China will accept it across their borders.
There is a morbid fear of cereal killers in that country.

I`d definitely give it a try. Even though regulations state no plants or animal products into countries, things like biscuits, cereal etc are OK as long as they`re declared. When I go to Shanghai, I always have a few sachets of Oat So Simple in my suitcase. They might open it on arrival to see what it is though but it`s though.

Unsanitary foods means anything that can't be sterilised before you send it - cereal would be in that list then

Why believe a copy and paste when you have been provided with links so you can actually make an informed decision yourself?
