If they get inspected you'd expect them to be seized. So it's luck of the draw!

Does anyone know if they always take the whole order if 1 item is not cool.

Generally just the suspicious item - might make them scrutinize the rest of your order carefully, though.

I use to import high risk PHs all the time without a confiscation in years. I love Syntha 6!!!! no way in hell I would risk ordering it from the states. He might get it but chances are low. I would bet you have a better chance of getting a bottle of Epi or SD!
ProteinMurder

Yeah, and customs didnt even open it.....so much for "express" shipping. I will let ya know.
Grimninja
New member
Yeah I had that feeling when he told me he ordered it, well only time will tell.
Really think chances of getting epi or sd is higher than the Syntha 6?
aj power
Member
Yep. Its Australian Quarantine and Inspection that will take Syntha 6 and they seem to be reasonably efficient. Customs MIGHT go you for Epi or SD.
If you go look at post 6 there is a link. My position has always been if the product you order is not on that list you have a reasonably good chance of getting it in (except egg and dairy products). If what you order is on that list your committing a criminal act when you order the product and/or gain possession of the product. It does say isomers etc are also illegal there is also state specific legislation so its really complicated! But if you order and its not on that list it SEEMS to make it more often than not and if you do get it confiscated you have a good argument to get let off with nothing more than a warning letter. NP are now stocking some strong product again if you look and their shipping is one of the best you will find. Keep it small tho.
Do let us know how he goes with the Syntha 6 but I would think its more luck if he gets it in. (unless he can get the necessary supplier declarations ...)

Yeah i can say 99% he will lose it, he ordered like a few tubs equating to like 6kg or something so i can say he went overboard. Oh wells hopefully its a lesson he learns, told him egg wont get in.

A few years ago I lost 12 protein bars and they gave me the option of paying $40 to send it back to the supplier. I have no idea if its still the same but it might be worth it if the store will re credit him. Don't totally give up some people have been lucky ... its school holidays so maybe they have a lot of staff also on holidays ATM

DANG! Here's hoping it clears soon!!
Speaking of delays, I've got 2 seperate orders which have been intransit from the US for 10 days with no updates via the tracking ids..
Anyone else having this issue?

Maybe yours didn't have egg mine did and that was the issue.

Contains eggs, no issue. They are processed.
Customs are normally worried about unprocessed proteins.

Bro ended up waiting 2 weeks from "out of customs", before i just walked to my post office, and asked them, and what do you know? I was just sitting there!

Wow you must be supper lucky! You can get egg based products in no problem but you can't get P.H's in, me on the other hand can't get anything with egg but any P.H I order comes through after being inspected what mixed up world we live in ... perhaps we should do swapsies you order the protein bars and I'll order the P.Hs. lol
This is straight from AQIS
What will AQIS remove from
international mail?
Dairy, Eggs and Egg Products cheese, milk, butter and other dairy products*
packaged meals and other foods containing more than 10 per cent dairy or 10 per cent or more egg (whole, dried and powdered, such as cake mix, salad dressing, mayonnaise) mooncakes containing egg.
If you can get a manufacturer declaration stating its less than 10% egg they will let it through from memory I brought Optimum Nutrition bars and they never respond to my requests.
Akula you should probably ask the board admins to close this thread so we all move over to the other one.

Good post. Australia Post often does not "card" you when a package is undeliverable cause you aren't home. Too lazy I guess.

I've never tried to import Ph's bro.
Not everyone want's to be a 110kgs meathead, and half the blokes on aussie forums looking to import ph's are like 75kgs, look **** and have no clue how to train/diet. It's true! Hate to say it. lol.
It's pretty simple bro, cos like a protein bar contains 30grams of protein, 100g bar.. thats 30%... so if egg is listed.. do you think it's going to be 10% of that 30%? I doubt it, and prob do customs.
Never had an issue, and the guy;'s I buy from ship ****loads to Australia they claim! Either way, it ends up being like $2.20 a bar, if you shop around here you can get aussie bodie bars for $3 a bar or so.. 45g of protein.. kinda works out the same!
Any supplements i order tho, even vitamins are checked by customs.. but then again at times they are not? I dont order anything dodgy tho. I learnt my lesson from having a visit over a freakin fat burner or 2... so It ain't worth the risk.
Alot of people try order "banned" **** thinking it's going to work wonders.. lol
I learnt fast, if you wanna bulk, you gotta eat and you will grow either way, if you train hard!

Hey bloke I sure did get a letter, telling me I that I am a bad man haha
My suggestion, get a PO Box and place a reasonable sized order and it should be ok, but there is no guarantee..

I almost wept tears of joy reading this.
I've always said to myself when I miss a meal or I get sloppy with an aspect of my training that if I can't get that right then I'm not going to get a cycle right if I don't stay diligent. The fundamentals are everything and they aren't found on a customs blacklist.
But anyway, there used to be some convenience stores near where I worked in The Rocks that used to stock some protein bars/cookies that clearly weren't from around these here parts. Always pretty overpriced but they came in handy. I'm pretty sure you could home cook an equivalent and they'd taste better though.

Yohimbine HCL banned in Australia
In January I ordered Leviathan Reloaded (Palo-Alto Labs) from NutraPlanet, and it made it all the way through to me no worries.
Then I saw another fat burning product I wanted to try, Lipo 6 Black and I saw this product on the shelf in a health food shop, so I ordered it from NutraPlanet not thinking it would be an issue. (I did some searching on the web to make sure it wasn't a banned product for import to Oz). I was very surprised to find out it had been seized by customs, because of the Yohimbine HCL in it...i didn't know Yohimbine was banned for import to Oz.
Obviously customs did not check my first package which had Leviathan...
I wish I had seen this thread before I attempted to import Lipo 6 black, now customs will destroy the product, what a waste!
As a side note, ordering from Australia through NutraPlanet is well worth it, even though delivery costs are high, products are about half price compared to Australia, and NutraPlanet customer service and reliability gets a 2 thumbs up from me!

There are a few fat burners with yohimbine that have given it a different name that seem to make it in if you look around. Also check what is in your local store some companies make international versions of their product for Australia that don't contain the same ingredients.
