    Hong Kong baby formula law enters into force.

    The regulations stop people from taking more than 1.8 kilograms of formula across the border, in a bid to crack down on the so-called "parallel traders" who sell the milk powder at a profit in China. A Customs and Excise Department statement says offenders will face a fine of up to $65,000 and a maximum two-year prison sentence.
