Just wanted to let everyone know. I ordered two boxes from iherb.com Some supplements, some not (bentonite clay). Both boxes got confiscated. Received notice after 4 weeks that it's all confiscated.

This was sent via regular mail. I've been able to import before using FedEx, they gave hard time, but eventually got through.

My advice is, send through a friend. According to this: http://portal.bpfk.gov.my/index.cfm?&menuid=96

10. Can unregistered medicines for personal use be brought into Malaysia?
Under the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984, the requirements for drug registration does not apply to a person who arrives in Malaysia and imports, as part of his personal luggage, any product for his use or his family's use, in a quantity that does not exceed one month's use by one person.

Actual law states:

(3) The provisions of subregulations (1) relating to importation do not apply to any person
arriving in the Federation from a place outside the Federation who imports, as part of his
personal luggage, any product meant solely for his use or for the use of his family in a quantity
not exceeding that which may be reasonably required for one month's use by one person, or to
any officer of the Government importing any product in the course of his duty, or to any person
who, in accordance with the written consent of the Authority, brings any product into the
Federation in transit.


So have a friend.. or better yet, have a friend in Government.

About USD$75 per box. Going to go and plead my case, see if I can get some of the stuff. Some of it wasn't even supplements.. like bentonite clay.

What for? All are illegal unless you have a license.

It's not the Customs you have to worry about, it's Farmasi Malaysia who confiscate.

Here's the letter I received (details redacted):

Using Fedex I imported a box of homeopathic meds once. FedEx called me asking for farmasi certificate. I said I didn't know about any certificate.... After a few days, they just released it. Go figure. ...
