I have a friend in Mainland China and she wants to know the safest way to acquire infant formula from the United States.
Back in 2008 there was a scandal where a Chinese company sold poisoned baby formula, killing scores of children. Many Mainland Chinese do not trust domestic formula companies and therefore try to obtain formula from Hong Kong. Korea, Japan, or elsewhere. Even today there are still concerns about baby formula in China. She also said that on WeChat (a Chinese chat program) it's common to see people talking about getting formula and designer bags from foreign countries.
I did see listings for infant formula on eBay or Amazon but she is not sure how to check whether the sellers are having genuine products.

If it from Amazon Directly (Select Amazon.com as supplier on left hand side of the filter screen) you can be almost 100% sure it "Real" Directly from the manufacture,
not thru one of there partners, who might have gotten if from a middle man.
Amazon might ship from a Asia warehouse (or even a warehouse in china) but Amazon would not be dealing with middle man, it would buy it directly from the maker of the product.
There are importing laws in China that will limit the number of cans one can receive for personal use. Don't just ship it without getting info from the shipper. If you buy online and they ship to China, they must have registered with the Chinese government to sending shipment.
