I've brought supplements and consumer drugs through Singapore customs before but always been ushered to the green 'nothing to declare' channel instead.JudyO wrote:Been there, done that. It's bad enough I can't bring my Retin-A, but my gosh, my DMAE serum and progesterone cream, too?!! They'd really freak out if they saw my kitchen cabinet!
I just don't wanna get stuck there for 3 hours while they go thru all the bottles making sure I haven't stuffed contraband in there. I just can't afford to leave everything behind and purchase anew (never find half the stuff anyway).
Never had a problem going thru a number of countries in the M.E. Does *anyone* have experience bringing vitamins/cosmetics/etc in? How bad can it be?
Usually if that was their reply, you can just go through the green channel. If you are doubtful, send a follow-up email on the red/green channel part.JudyO wrote:the lynx: Good advice on the email, will see if I can do that tonite before I leave 8/1 a.m. Spoke w/their help desk already, and they indicated it wasn't a problem if they were for my own consumption. Yet, they'll be surprised by the variety and quantity.
Strong Eagle: Everything's already packed in the checked bags. I'm coming in from the U.S., so it's not as if I've been globe-trotting around (yet). That, along with my advanced age (lol), may elicit the not as strong a response from the authorities -- I hope.
Oh, and should I declare any of this stuff or just go the green lane (and hope I sail thru)? I also have an expensive handbag/shoes that I wouldn't want them to charge me for on the way out, but am not sure if getting into the red line would be opening a can of worms.
