I wanted to order a workout supplement and have it shipped to Korea, but I don't know if it would have problems clearing customs. The stuff is called Jack3d and it's a pre-workout drink, along the same lines as NO-Xplode and stuff like that. Does anybody know who I could contact or who would know if I would have any problems clearing customs with it? I just don't wanna order it and find out later that customs rejected it. Thanks in advance!

Won't get rejected, they sell it here as well.

Wait, really? Do you know where and at what price? I live out in the sticks so I'm wondering if it would just be better to get it here.

It will proabaly be more expensive to find it, go get it and then buy than it would be to order it online and have it delivered to your school. At least that was my experience. Try iherb.com

I order it through Vitacost.com. It takes 8 days and it's a lot cheaper than getting the workout stuff here in Korea or Iherb. If you u keep your weight from 1-3.4 pounds the shipping cost is only 13 dollars us. I order stuff from there every month. If u have more questions let me know. Ohh one time it took 30 days because Korean customs stopped it, but I finally got it. Keep it under 150 dollars and 3.4 pounds.

protein powder, creatine, fish oils/omega 3, vitamin d, dextrose/maltodextrin should all clear customs, right?

I don't get my protein whey from Vitacost because of the weight limit. I get that stuff through healthkoreaus.com. much cheaper and faster. I buy 2 10 pounds bags of BSN syn. shipping is only 10,000 won. the stuff arrives in 4 days. Downside, the site is all in Korean.

The shipping cost jumps crazy high after 3.4 pounds with Vitacost. Something with taxes after 150 dollars, but I never tested that out with Vitacost. I did spend over 200 dollars with Healthkoreaus and I wasn't taxed...I'm guessing healthkoreaus has a branch in Korea and their stuff has already gone through the customs because the shipping is too fast and cheap for oversea shipping...Again I'm just guessing. These sites are pretty awesome.
