It's illegal in Australia how do you think it goes getting through customs?
JUICE JUNKY
ALL UP IN THAT ASS!!
Hi, look mate everyone is going to have their own story to tell on this subject. BUT one fact remains: Australian Customs are the most strictest customs in the world, they have state of the art devices that pick up everything you can think of. So for your own safety i would steer well clear of importing anything into Australia.
Got to love a strong first post now aye mate
At least he's straight to the point with no fucking around.
I don't think the forum is going downhill, as long as i'm here i will make it my mission that it stays up on top. I don't post much on here, but its the people i know that will keep this place pumping.
And yes some people are too open about gear on this board i agree, they will be dealt with accordingly. I myself will not tolerate anything to do with Steroid Sources or Suppliers.

i have had sucess in the past via internet order but have recently been burnt , it was either siezed or never sent , customs seem to be getting harder ( guess there useing all the gear they nab ) , the best option now is to find a local source . I have heard there are UGL's in Australia , that would negate the customs issue

Fucked up Kunce
LOL, you attempted to buy gear yet you ask the question "How much protein to take".
I would suggest you learn more about fundamental nutrition before jumping into gear.

provided you check the ingredients list of things you import CAREFULLY against the list of substances controlled in Australia, you'll be fine.
Here's a reply email I got from the TGA when I asked them about importation of supps, checking for controlled substances, and what happens if you try to bring in something dodgy:
Customs are responsible for enforcing TGA regulations in this instance. TGA does not make case by case decisions on whether or not your product is prohibited.
It is your responsibility to ensure the medicine you import is not classified as prescription only, or otherwise restricted or prohibited in Australia.
Under the Personal Importation Scheme you may import a 3 month supply (based on the maximum daily dose on the product label) of unapproved therapeutic goods into Australia in any one importation without any approval required by the TGA provided that:
· the goods are for your own treatment or the treatment of your immediate family; and
· you do not supply (sell or give) the medicine to any other person; and
· where possible, you keep the medicines or medical devices in their original packaging with any dispensing labels intact; and
· the goods are not restricted under Australian Customs controls or quarantine rules and the goods do not contain a controlled substance; and
· the goods are not injections that contain material of human or animal origin (except insulin); and
· the total quantity of the goods imported within a 12 month period does not exceed 15 months supply of the goods (for medicines, at the maximum dose recommended by the manufacturer); and
· if the goods are medicines in Schedule 4 or 8 of the Poisons Standard a prescription from a registered medical practitioner is held for the medicines.
Certain products cannot be imported under personal importation unless an import permit has been obtained. These include substances that are prohibited under Customs legislation, antibiotics, injectable drugs that contain material of human or animal origin (except insulin), and products that contain substances derived from endangered species. I have attached the Prohibited Imports List. The substances in this list are subject to control under the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 and the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958.

You should also contact the following Australian government departments to make sure they do not place restrictions on the importation of this product or ingredients in this product: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service – http://www.aqis.gov.au
Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (endangered species) – http://www.environment.gov.au
In regards to your last question, it is up to Customs as to how they choose to deal with other products in the same package, at TGA we do not have control over how Customs chooses to deal with the prohibited products and remainder of the package. It would be best to contact Australian Customs to find out about their procedures in this case.

Stuff definitely gets through; customs doesn't have the means or the manpower to check every single package that enters the country. That said, you're pretty much flipping a coin as to whether anything gets through or not. Not to mention finding a legit site that ships discreetly.

Look for the Gen-Shi oil sachets. You get 2ml of oil in a sachet and it doesn't mention anything about what it is and is disguised as aromatherapy oil.
Order two sachets a week and after about 4 months you'll have a very decent cycle. You will pay through the teeth for shipping but it will still work out pretty cheap
