"You can do a general search for "sending infant formula to China" and see lots of articles.
People can't just mail dairy products. There are govt import / export laws that cover this."

The postal officer who was serving the customer ahead of me thought that there was no problem sending the pif at the Australian end, but suggested to the customer that there "could be" problems at the China end as regards importing large quantities. I'll look at the websites. If shipments are blocked or taxed, this intensifies the question of food security who women choose expensive, imported pif ahead of breastfeeding.
All this, of course, has been unpaid advertising for particular brands.
