Importing Sports Supplements to Oz

Tony Sopranoe · 2012-01-17 23:56:34

Is it possible to import the likes of protein powder, creatine into Oz. I know supplements are very expensive over there, would it be cheaper to import them from UK suppliers and is this allowed?

By the time you pay all duty on it and with post/shipping on top would you be saving much?

Would AQIS charge you for the honour of inspecting it also?

Sounds like a bit of a gamble that could cost more than what you save, my advice is if you want it is to do your homework and not to seek legal advice from people who are guessing on a forum, tell us how you get on with it...

Tony, I have never ordered protein powder but we buy everything from vitamins to guitar strings online and save a fortune in the process!
