it be best to email NZ customs and ask about which supplements that you can bring to the country from the states.
Wahoo, I might be going to America for a holiday in late January. What's the deal with bringing supps back home from there?

"Store-brought" supps - like US formula Hydroxycut, Hotrox, and some others may still contain banned substances like Yohimbine.

Do the research, find out what you want and check. Even if they do contain banned substances, it's a gamble. If the bottle is unopened and it's in a bag from a large chain store like GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, as opposed to unlabelled open bottles of random capsules/ tablets, you might get away unchallenged in small quantities. Or, you might get it seized... or worse. Be prepared to wave goodbye to your money, and decide how much you can afford to lose.

Ten large tubs of pretty much anything tends to look like "possession with intent to supply" :grin:

I'll probably just be bringing back some protein powders, and mayybe some fat burners (will look at the ingredients). But like if I bring back protein will they wanna open all of the containers etc?

well the fact that it's 9.30 and I only left at 8 shows how it went...

:pfft: Was he a goober Miss? Lucky it was over quick! :grin:

Yep, kept looking at me wierd so I was like "umm I have to go home and study for my exams...." So he let me go :doh:

With protein powder, the issue's the bulk/weight...and the prospect of having it burst in your suitcase when the loadies get a hold of it at the airport! It'd be better than a jar of vegemite burst, but not by much (and don't ask me how I know!) . I doubt the border security folks in NZ would object to you bringing in a factory-sealed tub of protein in your suitcase, but would you want to waste some of your precious luggage allowance on it when it could be carrying other stuff (like cheap clothing, shoes, (and not just gymwear!)). But, a 180-count jar of Hydroxycut is smaller than a couple kg of protein...

The fatburners are where it pays to read the labels carefully - there's ample posts on here about the Aus/NZ formulation of a lot of the products people talk about. The reason the US market has more variety in fatburners than we do is market size - our market's too small to make a special formulation and production run worthwhile. I'm not sure about England, but having been to GNC stores there, they also don't carry a lot of what you'll see in the stores in the US.

Would they want to open a new bottle - if they can see the manufacturer's tamper-proof seals are intact, probably not. They'd likely know from the label whether it was a pass or a fail, if they chose to inspect your bags.

Just my 2c worth, as usual :)
