Hi there,

I would like to order some herbal products off the internet and have them sent to Korea - but I want to check that non of them are prohibited (like I have heard that Ginseng can't be imported?). Any ideas where I could get hold of this list? I have tried the Korean customs website, but there wasn't anything helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I don't have a list, but I know that ephedrine and its herbal relatives can't be imported.

Just search the inter-web for the legality of a specific herb or check erowid.org

Salvia Divinorum is illegal.

If you want to talk to the spirits you may be in luck.

Does anyone have a link?

I was also looking for a complete list of legal/illegal herbs and chemicals in Korea. Can't find it.

Thanks.

Erowid does not have South Korea. Lots of other countries though.

Oddly enough, vitamins and nutritional supps are technically illegal here.
