I tried to order my usual omega3 supplement from iHerb and was informed that it and the other omega3 supplements I tried could not be sent to SK. iHerb customer service said that this was due to customs now requiring some sort of certification that iHerb could not provide.
Freedom--ain't it grand? |

Fish are free. They can swim wherever they like. The OP should go fishing if he wants omega so badly. |

You mean they just give fishing poles and bait away? Can you tell me where I can get mine?
And of course there's time involved. My time may well be spent more profitably doing things other than fishing.
Your post shows a lack of thought, stan. You haven't been imbibing by any chance? |

| I've been getting my vitamin D from iHerb (to fight off all the germs from uncovered coughs). Hope this doesn't affect vitamin D, though it sounds like it will... |

It screams of protectionism.
Sort of how every game ap on facebook has been blocked, including such dastardly ones such as Candy Crush, Scrabble, and Farmville. |

Freedom of choice has nothing do with customs regulations. As arbitrary as they are.
You're free to choose and buy something and have it shipped over, doesn't mean customs won't confiscate it if it doesn't have the proper documentation. |

| Just days before OP's post Indonesia had executed a number of internationals for importing illegal substances. Think korea wants that kind of limelight? No way in hades. So perhaps extra precautions are suddenly thrown up. Is that the reason for such restrictions and precautions? Who knows? All I'm suggesting is looking at the broad spectrum of the political, economic and international vibe of east, southeast asia if things go....well...south. And don't take things too serious or personal. Things happen; always ways to make do. Just ask my wife who is 8 1/2 months pregnant and i can't get what i need. Am i aggrevated? Sure~! But i await the reward of patience: something better. |
