I'm wondering about the custom procedures when ordering to EU from outside of EU. Would the topicals be processed as supplements or cosmetics? Has anyone ordered any topicals/transdermals that had to be declared at customs?
Thanks.
Thanks.
What kind of topicals, are we talking ExoTherm or Andros?@Whisky @nikosktm @TheMrMuscle @solidsnake @mastah @Darkhorse192 @-RONIN- @bridgey1989 @Carnivorecon @Slims @u_e_s_i @Malbranque @Stefr @AndroRage
Ursa Major from Apex Alchemy. Ursolic Acid.What kind of topicals, are we talking ExoTherm or Andros?
A lot of cosmetics and nail varnish removers have alcohol in them and they pass through just fineThe Ursolic Acid itself shouldn't be a problem, but I'm not sure how to declare a topical. It has a form of alcohol in it, so saying it's a supplement might be a problem On our customs website it only says that supplements are orally taken stuff..
Exactly, passes as cosmetics. I'm leaning towards on declaring it as a cosmetic.A lot of cosmetics and nail varnish removers have alcohol in them and they pass through just fine
Couple of years ago I ordered from Strong supplement shop some Androhard and I believe on the box they noted it as ‘cosmetics’. Done this a few times and got the order quickly from US. I would use them againI'm wondering about the custom procedures when ordering to EU from outside of EU. Would the topicals be processed as supplements or cosmetics?

Thanks. If I could 'smuggle' some fun td supps by declaring them as cosmetics, that would open some doors, lol = ) All the Andros and such are illegal here. I doubt it's that simple though.Couple of years ago I ordered from Strong supplement shop some Androhard and I believe on the box they noted it as ‘cosmetics’.

In Scandinaviawhat country are you in?
If I mailed you a personal package from Belgium would it still get raked in customs like it would if it came from the US?In Scandinavia
I'm not completely on top of all the practicies, but I can order supps inside the EU and don't have to do any kind of declaration to customs. Coming outside from EU, if it's a supplement the contents and value have to be listed on the package and I have to pay VAT on top of it and a custom fee, if the value is over 150 €. If it's a cosmetic I only have to pay the VAT (which is higher for cosmetics, than supps).If I mailed you a personal package from Belgium would it still get raked in customs like it would if it came from the US?
Yeah, the issue here for me is that it's topical and I'm not sure how to handle it. If it was capsules or powder, I'd just declare it as supplement and give the product ingridient list to customs (along with the order receipt). But it looks like it's best to declare it as a cosmetic.I've not much to add here I'm afraid, all my orders have been from pred and powermyself. I have ordered lots from piping rock in the US including yohimbe which got through fine and very quickly, closest to anything hormonal you'll get from there though is dhea
Jeez you got it bad there if dhea is illegal, yohimbe/yohimbine i think is illegal/banned here in UK too which is why i mentioned it got through fine.Yeah, the issue here for me is that it's topical and I'm not sure how to handle it.

Btw, Yohimbine and dhea both illegal here, lol.

So that seems like you didn't have to declare them to the customs at all?Sorry for the delay, sir.
Yep, I ordered Alpha Seven (still haven't used it yet), Dermacrine (regularly), XI-KT, Virtus and the likes of Sustain Alpha with no problems at all into Ireland from outside EU sources with no customs issues regarding Control or paying Duties and Taxes (as yet, anyway).
I'm thinking many brands sell their products as cosmetics and when sending internationally (and domestically too I guess), the package only contains the product name and company name and address info.Ordered topicals many times from US with no problems at all! Cant remember what they wrote on the package though
Well, you know .....Didn't learn much about the practicies with this shipment, since I was not asked to do any kind of declaring No VAT paid, no disclosing the contents. I like how in the package for Category of items it says "Merchandise". Very transparent I now wish I would've ordered 10 Dienogens along with the Ursas, lol.
You guys running BOGO's left and right, they just keep coming = ) If this flying through with no declaring shows up to be a trend rather than an exception, maybe I can have the courage to throw in something "hot" in the future I'll tuck in my balls and play nice for now tho : pWell, you know .....
We're running a Great BOGO FREE Sale at Apex-Alchemy right now ....
You should subscribe to their email news letter. I got an email about their BOGO. No spam on this and that, like with many other companies.WHAT! I just ordered another 10 bottles ursolic acid .. and now you have BOGO.. I was so close ordering before but the shipment was insane $40, with BOGO deal I could take that shipment cost anyday.. damn..

I don't want to pour salt on an open wound, but perhaps consider some of our other goodies while they are on sale, and maybe subsidize shipping on a new order. AET-50 would go great with URSA~WHAT!

That should be an awesome cutting stack and that's actually what I was looking to run, but couldn't find out if b-aet is ok to order to my country and can't find it from inside EU. So I'm gonna go with Ursa + Reduce XT (7-alpha-hydroxy-dhea & 7-beta-hydroxy-dhea).I don't want to pour salt on an open wound, but perhaps consider some of our other goodies while they are on sale, and maybe subsidize shipping on a new order.

It's a lot about luck and coincidence too. By the rules 'gift' packages should be declared too (in here at least) and VAT paid, if the gift value is over 45 €. But I don't know how eager the customs are to open packages sent as gifts. One of my package was once randomly opened by customs from JW supplements from UK before Brexit. Luckily it had only Rebirth in it. Most of the times my packages from UK had PH's in them.I’ve had a lot of phojel ultra delivered from us and the first time they sent it back as it was fully declared, customs said it didn’t meet the rules safety standards.
He sent again as a gift and they didn’t blink an eyelid
Where did you ordered it from if you can share. Recently the only places I find it the shipping is more expensive than phojel itself.I’ve had a lot of phojel ultra delivered from us and the first time they sent it back as it was fully declared, customs said it didn’t meet the eu’s safety standards.
