Thread: Ordering large quantities of the same product overseas?

Hey guys,

First off, I apologies as I am 100% sure this is:

1) A stupid question
2) Had probably been asked a million times haha

Basically, what I want to know is:

Would there be any problem ordering 10x tubs of Purple Wraath from Bodybuilding.com?

As the product is available in Oz, I know there are no banned ingredients.

However, my mate was saying I might get hit with some "import" fee or something, as I am ordering mass amounts of the same product, and customs will think I am going to sell it or something?

only restriction would be if its not fda approved, you can only import 3 months supply. i think.

that is a limit under TGA's personal import scheme for medication...purple wraath is a BCAA type dietary supplement

also FDA approval is not relevant as that relates to the US and they do not assess the safety, efficacy or provide marketing approval for this kind of thing.

the fee you refer to is customs duty which will be determined by the declared value of the purchase order....10 tubs probably won't cost you $1000 if you buying from bb.com

Mate, take it from an importer. Stick to the 3month supply rule. Also make sure your invoice is under $1000 AUD.

Hey Mino, I've ordered purple wraath without a problem .

Bodybuilding.com will NOT process an order if they cannot ship it to Aus.

That's why I usually use them, if I'm unsure - their site will stop any banned products
