I'm going to be heading out to Seoul in about two weeks and am trying to get everything in line. Recently got a three month supply of psoriasis meds (topicals) that are around two pounds and plan on throwing them in my bag. Is there a form anywhere that I need to declare my prescriptions to customs or a limit on what I am allowed to bring?

Topical creams? No worry about Korean customs. Chances are that they are OTC here anyway (as are most corticosteroid based creams).

IF you are concerned, keep them in their original containers (from the pharmacy) and have a copy of the prescription (the pharmacy label) with you or on the container.

Nothing to declare as you go through customs.
