5HTP - what's the most I can import??

Anyone have any idea or experience with how many bottles of 5HTP one can import before customs become suspicious? ... given of course that quantities greater than personal use are illegal would eyebrows be raised at 5-6 bottles??

Hey guy
Re: personal importation of 5-Hydroxy Tryptophan
Please be advised that you do not require an import permit under the
Customs ( Prohibited Imports ) Regulations to import these substances.
However, the maximum quantity allowed for import at any one time is 3
month's supply and nmt 15 months supply in any 12 month period.
I'm not sure what customs would do if 5 bottles turned up. But I'm sure they wouldn't care too much- you could even make the point that it IS all for you, and you plan to eat 400 mg a day!
If it's any compromise Iherb only charge flat $8 US for another delivery, maybe split it into two orders?
Ultimately i think customs have bigger fish to fry..

If a search didn't bring anything useful up for ya then try the Aust. customs website- www.customs.gov.au , if it doesn't show amounts on the site itself key them up at [email protected]
Hope that helps...

i had no issue bringing in 4 at once, but i wanna try a few more this time....

I have had no problem importing 24. All from a place in Calafornia. It is treated just like importing any vitamin as they are rated as "dietary supplaments". A friend of mine who runs a store also imports large amounts with no problems at all, so go your hardest!!
