>>"Which country were you sending to?"<<

And, what are the supplement laws there?

What is permitted and what is not?

Laws about which supplements a country will allow into it through customs are changing and if the package contained a supplement or more not permitted, it was likely rejected for that. I have heard of this happening before on a number of occasions.

In one case, the user (I believe it was Australia) purchased the same supplement manufactured by a different company that did not have the *supplement* as part of its identifying *name*, and it slipped through that way... but then, I am not sure this will work every time.

In general though, iherb, and some other internet vendors, seem to keep up on this information as best it can, and list at some place on the supplement page countries it is not permitted to ship to. But then reading and/or knowing this information, along with heeding it, is up to the purchaser.

If the information I have been reading about law changes do go into effect, I suspect *supplement* imports to Europe will slow considerably over the next 1.5 years, and perhaps stop altogether by 2012.

When I first got to curezone years ago... people were predicting this would be happening at some point. The proposed *laws* having been in the Federal Register for a while now.
