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

Required FDA import alert review, delayed 10 days.

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.

One thing that is still open after Dr.SurgeonPGH’s answer:

What actually works on a prior-authorisation denial, as opposed to the list of things that sound like they should work?

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

Shipping time: 5-10 days
Customs clearance: was seized once, reshipped free
Quality: Janoshik tested at 97.1% purity

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

Closing the loop on my own question.

Follow-up — getting the denial reason in writing was the step that mattered. It named the criterion, and the criterion was a document I already had.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.
