Forwarding US Supplements Internationally
Athletic Greens, Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, Now Foods — US-formula supplements that don't exist elsewhere.
Recommended carrier
FedEx or DHL Express (USPS gets supplements rejected by customs constantly).
What trips most people up
Supplements have wildly different import rules per country. Some ingredients legal in US are banned abroad (DMAA, certain stimulants, prohormones).
Three things that actually matter
- Check destination country's banned ingredient list before ordering — Selectido pre-screens common ones
- Australia and New Zealand have aggressive TGA/MPI clearance — declare ingredients precisely
- EU prefers 'food supplement' label over 'dietary supplement' — affects clearance speed
Customs & duty
Most countries treat supplements as 'food preparations' (HS 2106). Duty often 0–10% but VAT always applies. Australia/NZ require ingredient disclosure.
