anyone ever experience any problems at international borders when carrying your supplements with you?? Specifically airports??

Im planning on flying to europe this year and want to bring my stuff along.

[mindstar]

depends what type of supplements you're talking about...stuff like whey and creatine are not a problem...illegal supplements, including ephedrine in some places, are best repackaged in an asprin bottle or something.

It will also depend on your destination.

i dont know, depending on how things go

i MIGHT bring Universal animal cuts to europe and the middle east.

Plus all my vitamins.

i just dont want the hassle of having to open and prove eveyrthing.

when i went to oz i took a bottle of thermos and i declared it so the guy had a little look but other than that it was sweet

[ruel]

what type of supplements? it depends on the type. if HGH, prohormones, steroids or something like that it's prohibited carrying these thing when entering another country.

i think you should be fine...though what's in Animal cuts? keep in mind that explaining bbing supplements to anyone not in this lifestyle can be like explainng physics to a 2nd grader...you may need some patience. Or re-bottle tha animal stuff into another vitamin bottle.

I beg to differ. I am in the military, and have to go through customs often. Depends on what countries you go through. I am currently in Europe and had no issues with supplements. Most of the time though powder froms are what they stop you from bringing through. They are more strict in the middle east then most places, but you should have no problems in europe as long as it is in the container and not just some baggy.

Not always the case. Just depends on where you go. I have seen Pakistani customs take away some herbal penis enlargment pills from a comrad. I have also seen CEE taken when going tino turkey. All in the conatainer. Just depends on where you go.

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

i remember garret downing said that when he came here to aus customs made him throw all his food away but made no mention to supplements

i guess as long as they look pretty straight forward and not complicated and they can read it then it shuold be good...
if not you can alwyas smuggle it out of your arse

lol!! how embarrissing!!!

People here in Frnce tell me its ilegal to use creatine here.. guys that play sport with me say it is outlawed.. u cant even bring Red bull into this stupid country.. so it definately depends on the country because ive been smuggling it through from spain

[imraan47]

whats the deal with creatine being illegal?

[DaeguDave]

Korea has never batted an eye at anything I've brought over - whey protein, creatine, multivitamins, flaxseed oil, gluatamine, glucosamine, calcium pills, etc.

Japanese customs wanted to know if my oatmeal was some sort of seed, which is wasn't of course so no problems there.

There were also no questions in China. I got searched leaving the U.S. this last time apparently because 12lb of organic matter going through the X-ray machine made it vaguely suspicious. No problems once they saw what it was though.

Based on your name, I assume you're in Daegu in South Korea. The law here in South Korea is that you can bring up to 6 products, even if it's not legal in South Korea. For instance, creatine and 6OXO is not legal here, but if it's for personal consumption (you have to say that to the customs officer), then it's cool. If it's more than 6, than you have to mail it to yourself 6 at a time. I hope that helps.

Update: i got through british/turkish customs/inspection/scanning without any problems with a can of animal pak in my sport bag. Even during the stricter rules after that terrorist plot.

I threw that **** out though before i came back cause i dont wanna use it anymore due to the ban.

I just went to Mexico and they did not even look at my stuff once coming or going thru any of the airports. They seemed only interested in the current regs about the liquids and gels, pointy objects and things like that.

I carried a small back pack and did have my supps with me, but no check.

I noticed the ones that seemed to be 'targeted' were women who were carrying anything that looked like a purse. All the peops w/back packs and reg luggage did not seem to be of interest.

I noticed them in one ladies purse shake a pill bottle at one of the other agents and he shook his head, basically saying were not interested in that and threw it back in her purse.
