Eg I ship my acarbose/rapa to a friend in Canada, and the friend then ships it to me.
What should I do to minimize risk? Does the package even need to be labeled? [the chances of random inspection on any package?]
[edit: asked, one supplier says “50% success rate”…]
Alex, I suspect that its illegal to ship pharmaceuticals between Canada and the USA between individuals, so if you’re labeling it as such it seems likely that it will be confiscated (these are not “controlled substances” so I doubt that anything else would be done, but it seems likely they wouldn’t arrive at their destination. This isn’t something that people do very often, so I doubt anyone knows what the “safest” way is. I have seen posts on social media by people, when they travel and bring back rapamycin from Turkey to their home country, put the tablets into a vitamin container (in their luggage). Of course, thats different than shipping something, and the US Postal service/ customs process is in turmoil right now so everything is up in the air on any shipments cross-border.
