Tu si zi has been banned for years now. Enforcement is selective and sporadic; and different field offices have their own interpretation what is allowed. This is the reason why there seems to be so many different opinions about this. With that said, granule importers such as ourselves have not reported any difficulties yet. > > hope that sheds some light on this. > tom leung > > Thomas Leung, B.S.
