The items prohibited for import into India from the neighbouring country would include chocolate and chocolate products, candies, confectioneries and food preparations with milk as an ingredient.
The ban was notified by the Directorate General of Foreign TradeĀ in the commerce ministry. Imports of milk and milk products from China have been prohibited since September, 2008.
Though the DGFT has not cited any reason for the ban, it is understood it was over fears of Chinese milk containing melamine, a deadly chemical, sources said.
