|
I'm leaving for Korea in two weeks and I have some questions about passing through customs.
1. I just recently bought this huge jug of weight gainer/protein powder and I don't want the leftover to go to waste. Will customs let be bring the powder into Korea? I'm going to put it in a ziploc bag with the label and ingredients.
2. What about spices, over the counter drugs, and prescription drugs? Any trouble bringing this stuff in? |

1) no problem.
2)
-no problem with the spices if the containers are sealed.
-no problem with the OTC drugs in limited quantities (don't be bringing 30 boxes of one type).
-Prescription drugs should be in their original containers with the prescription attached. Again, no problem.
