Can I bring fruit in my carry-on when transiting through China on a China Eastern flight from Bali to Russia?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 4 days ago
TL;DR
The messages do not provide a confirmed report of carrying fruit through China. For a Bali–China–Russia itinerary on China Eastern, check transit and inspection rules with the airline and Chinese Customs in advance, as fruit may be confiscated if you enter China.
What the community said
One traveler reports carrying about 20 kg of fruit from Bali via China. Bali airport staff warned that it could be confiscated in China, but the travelers were allowed through during transit. This is an individual experience, not a guarantee.

According to one participant, fruit can generally be carried when remaining airside in transit without crossing the border or clearing customs. If leaving the airport and entering China, it will likely be confiscated.

The fruit question concerned a Bali-to-Russia trip connecting in China on China Eastern. The messages contain no confirmed report that fruit was accepted in carry-on baggage during this type of connection.

A China Eastern connection in Shanghai was mentioned, but no food or fruit-baggage rules were confirmed. Do not treat the Shanghai transit reference as proof that fruit is permitted.

Passengers discussing China Eastern flight MU890 between Beijing and Bali reported a very cold cabin, limited blankets, and only one meal service. This may matter when packing for a long flight, but it does not confirm any fruit-import rule.
