Aussies post here what supps you have had cleared/seized by customs!

skillgannon · 04-26-2005, 07:20 AM

Thought I would try to save those looking to order products from overseas some time and trouble and try to eliminate the guess work of wether or not a product is legal in Australia or not.

When ordering anything it is always advisable to check here first http://www.tga.gov.au/docs/html/bringmed/apendixa.htm
http://www.tga.gov.au/docs/html/bringmed/apendixb.htm

Unfortunately though not everything is listed as I have found out the hard way so I thought if people could list what they have had cleared by customs, that is recieved their package with an inspected by customs sticker on it we could give people a definate idea of what will get through and what wont.

Ok so Ill start, products I have had cleared are

Max lmg
lean xtreme
gluchophase xr
Bulk cee
bulk nac
nuerostim c
v12 turbo
cex
body octane
product x transform
substance wpi
6oxo

So far products seized

Rebound xt

Jox · 04-26-2005, 08:00 AM

I can't add much, I will add more when I get a few big orders in the next few days.

Had no problem with:

Swole v2
100% ON Whey

Pretty obvious I suppose.

(Nice idea)

shockandrecover · 05-02-2005, 05:04 AM

have you got the rebound yet?

Salv · 05-02-2005, 05:20 AM

I've had the following cleared

Lean Extreme
GXR
Sesathin
Leptigen products
Phenogen
Amino acids and creatines
Cissus
Tribulus
c-Amphibolic
BSL Go!
Neurostim

Had no problem with ON Whey, BUT had problem with 50lbs of BSL's Whey - had to get an import permit.

vitriol · 05-02-2005, 05:36 AM

Heres what i have gotten thru:
-No dramas with protein, except iss micellar matrix (as it contained egg albumen i had to get a manufacturer's decleration stating it contained less than 10% egg before customs would release it)
-Creatine is obviously fine, this includes swole and cre-ethyl ester
-Product X Transform
-GABA

Havnt had anything seized since i havnt tried ordering anything i know i shouldn't

No go on the rebound, customs official word on it is the ingredient listed on the bottle dosen't exist and isn't chemically possible so it must be wrong and therefore wont be released.

Wow, you have chemists in customs, we just have run of the mill clerks.

myPecsRbigger · 05-02-2005, 08:57 AM

Curious about this myself, is m1p even available yet though?

Jox · 05-04-2005, 08:19 AM

I just go these through and were all inspected by customs.

L-Arginine
Taurine
ZMA
AST 32x Multi

Oh the new Man Scorch. Right I remember now. I wanted to get the old one and emailed Customs + the TGA to see if "7-oxo-DHEA" was legal and I didn't get an answer. I justed looked at the new ingredients, it ain't in it. Cool, I'm gonna order it now.

I'll have my list up soon.

dell · 05-13-2005, 06:50 AM

Has anyone had any luck buying Superdrol yet? I just sent a fax to TGA today.... and the person I spoke to sounded like a wanker ..... woldn't give me a time frame on how long its gonna take for them to decide yay or nay.....

..... will keep y'all posted on how things go.......

Cheers

Dell

onshow · 05-13-2005, 10:16 PM

not to be a smart arse, but i wouldnt be contacting the tga with your details. not only that, but i wouldnt bring new compounds to their attention. if its not on the website you can bring it in. if they then decide to ban it, you at least have an excuse. i can guarantee now that superdrol will be banned. why? because it is an andro derivative. that is unless the guy that works at tga that makes the decisions is a complete dud.

your best bet is to try and bring it in. personally i wouldnt waste my time. its much easier to go down to your local gym and get aas. this is what i think is ludicrous.

dell · 05-13-2005, 10:40 PM

F*ck .....

..... Can't believe I didn't think of it that way.... I had my doubts anyway since Superdrol is a derivative of Drostanolone i think.... man this sucks..... I hope I don't get screwed cause I provided my details... its not as if I was doing anything wrong.....

it was just a question to clarify doubts anyway for God's sake

myPecsRbigger · 05-13-2005, 11:03 PM

yea it wasnt a good idea to have rang those guys, bringing superdrol to their attention can only mean bad things since aust customs will bann anything remotly in that greyish kinda area and they usually bad stuff before other countires, australia had prohormones banned way before the us, so if i was you id just try and order superdrol and see if it gets through but dont order it from bb.com because they are sure to check it try some random supplement company on google

i myself should be getting my 3 bottles of sd soonish though a friend that was traveling in america last week

You luck dog....

..... I'm a bit disappointed that I can't order it cause I really wanted to give it a go....

... but its all good...... I've heard good things bout Max LMG and from what I've seen from earlier posts it looks like they are allowed in, so might try that..... btw what do you guys do for PCT???? If not comfortable posting here, send me a PM

Cheers

Dell

dell · 05-13-2005, 11:43 PM

dell · 05-17-2005, 02:47 AM

Okay guys..... Bad news for all Aussies here..... Superdrol is illegal here in Oz .....

Cheers

Dell

ravadongon · 05-17-2005, 03:11 AM

My Higher Power CEE replacement is still with customs according to bb.com and I ordered it in February. They've passed **** Cr2 and Kre Alkalyn, so I don't see how this should be much different...........

LiL_JaY · 05-17-2005, 03:23 AM

Dont really order much from here.. besides protien

Everything i brought here has gotten through so far,
ON Whey
Dymatize

You still may get it through, depends on who checks it. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=482849

I've never had anything confiscated and here's what I've ordered ::

TKE Joint Boost with MSM
Optimum Melatonin
Optimum ZMA
Syntrax Guggulbolic Extreme
Syntrax Beta3
Nutrex Vitrix
PrimaForce Lean Green
AST Multi Pro 32X
AST VP2
Biotest Red Kat

Optimum BCAA 1000 Caps
NOW Valerian Root
NOW ZMA
Prolab Lean Mass Matrix
Techline Joint Defense

Training buddy ::

To those who have ordered ON Whey, has anybody ordered a 10lb bag in? Did you get charged anything extra by Customs? It's just I'm unsure about it cause of that 3 month limit as I read on the Customs (or was it TGA?) site.

dell · 06-12-2005, 07:43 AM

Bloody hell....

Its been almost 3 weeks since I ordered MAX LMG and I still haven't got it....

It can get held up at customs, I havent had to wait longer than a month though. Did you use priority shipping? I usually get my supps within 5-7 days with this method and if there is a delay fedex calls me to let me know what is happening.

Newport Surfer · 06-18-2005, 10:57 AM

If you guys have any good friends in the states you should ship the items in question to them, have them repackage it in vitamin bottles and then ship it too you down south.

Just a thought...
