John,

If you're shipping them via EMS or mail, they will definitely need to get through FDA clearance for the US. I reckon the process is similar for most EU countries as well.

Cheers,
Verity.

It's a wee bit easier if it's carried in your luggage but I wouldn't risk it I were you. The hassle of going through all the Q&A and the stress that comes with it is just not worth it IMO :goat:

On mobile now. We haven't tried US but any drug coming from China to many foreign customs without proper papers is a big hassle. We're startin to venture on that and the first time we hand carry some samples into custom without papers was torture. The products were temporarily withheld and lots of questions.

Complete your papers mate.

:facepalm: they MADE IN SINGAPORE, proven quality supplements for health. I used to buy this for my staff, and she recommended to her relative and friends...yes they work.

The company whom made them has been in Singapore since 1955. If you at the shop you will be surprised most of their regular customers are from china. And yes, we are also selling them on taobao...

"Chinese supplements shipping into US/EU" was the title.
So, blame yourself for misunderstanding, mate.

My point however mis-guided or irritating is. If baby milk cannot be considered safe by Chinese mothers, how 'clean and safe' can someone expect a sports supplement to be.

we don't consume supplements that are made in china, those you see display at some retail stores. We only would consume those prescribed by the hospital physicians. :facepalm:

thanks arcadia for the reply..:facepalm:

Sorry for the confusion mate. Singapore was only mentioned at the bottom of the post, and not at the title itself. Could have been 'Chinese supplements from Singapore shipping into US/EU'. ;)

Just the same, there will be problems without documentation. As I've posted, any form of drug going through customs takes more scrutiny than your ordinary package. That goes with any other developed country, not only US. It was not a good experience being held inside customs while your packages are being verified as proper samples only. Who will verify them? On whose authority? etc. The carrier is practically a seating mule. More so with traditional drugs that don't usually go through food and drug approval from the country of origin. Still good luck.
