My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from an Indian manufacturer. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 14-28 days
Customs clearance: required import documentation
Quality: Janoshik tested at 99.4% purity

International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.

International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas:

Package cleared customs in 2 days, no issues.

Tips: always include a copy of your prescription, declare medication properly on customs forms, keep quantities reasonable (personal use = 3 month supply max), and use a vendor who has experience shipping to your country.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale. Nothing to add that would improve it.
