Question about China Customs Declarations

Can I travel to China with Buprenorphine HCL (Subutex). Its a medication & controlled substanc in US
Hello. I am an American seeking travel to China, but I have an important question that I cannot find the answer to. Even the Chinese Consulate can't give me an answer. They refer me to the Chinese Customs/Entry & Exit, but I cannot get any answers there either. I take a medication called Buprenorphine HCL (Subutex) and I am planning to have my doctor write me a letter to take with me, but I am afraid I will not be able to enter the country with it and need some help. Can you tell me if this medication is allowed in the country, as I cannot travel without it. I have searched all over the web and called so many people without any resolution. I am traveling to China with my college and I am afraid that if I cannot find an answer then I won't be able to go. I am afraid to get to customs and be in trouble for attempting to bring it into the country because it is considered a controlled substance here in the US. And if they take it from me I would withdrawal from it. I cannot just stop taking this medicine or I could be hospitalized. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I don't know where else to turn for answers.
Thanks in advance,

- Hi Rob,
i think it is ok if you have your doctor's letter (prescription) and quantity should be just enough for your stay in China.Answered by Cathy | Dec. 17, 2012 19:32
