  Can I bring in 10 - 17 lbs of american ginseng as gifts

  I purchased, in the usa, 10 lbs of american ginseng (wisconsin ginseng), and probably am looking at another 5-7 pounds. Can I bring that in in a suitcase?
  
  I know I have to get the paper from the farmer who sold it to me - no problem.
  
  This ginseng is a gift and a gift only to all my future inlaws (parents, sisters, aunts & uncles). Each to receive 1 kg of the stuff.
  
  It is, under no circumstances, for resale. It is gift to future inlaws only;.
  
  Do I need any special documents other than declaring it. It is packaged in freezer bags, not commercial packaging.
  
  Thanks

• i heard that American ginseng are not allowed to enter China, unless a small amount as gift or ginseng products. some said an export license is required. you'd better consult the China Customs for detailed information.
