Here are a few guidelines for our international customers to keep in mind:
Inquire with your appropriate local governmental agencies to learn about regulatory rules and restrictions for importing dietary supplements or nutritional supplements before ordering products to avoid any last minute disappointments. Please make sure that they know that your shipment is for dietary supplements and not for drugs.
Customs Duty and Processing Fee: Most countries charge Customs duty and processing fee. Ordering customer is responsible for the payment of these charges/fees at the time of receiving the parcel. We do not know the amount that will be charged. We do not have any control over such charges and we do not take any responsibility for these charges. We do not refund international orders on account of such issues.
Regulatory Rules and Restrictions: The experience of our international customers varies from country to country, from customer to customer and from order to order within the same country based on the regulatory restrictions of the destination country, the contents of the shipment and even the fancy of the customs agent inspecting your order. Some countries are lenient and the customers receive their shipments as a matter of routine. Other customers experience anywhere from minor issues to substantial issues including delay in receiving the shipments, additional approval from various governmental agencies, import license, imposition of import duties and/or outright rejection of the shipment. Yet some other countries require a local medical doctor's prescription before a customer can pick up a drug shipment from the customs of their country.

However customers in several countries have experienced difficulty to receive their mails and noticed the rejection of shipment by the customs authority. Customs authorities of Germany, Spain, Mexico, Denmark, South Africa, Norway and Finland are the most notorious we have found: They have rejected most of the orders of our customers from these countries.
