Obtaining some hard to get meds

[Gwenllian]

I might be wrong but chances are the customs folk have put a flag in place -so anything you get that needs to go through customs will be checked.

I was thinking the same thing, actually. But they don't touch parcels from Iherb, strangely enough, but that's probably because Iherb cooperates with the authorities? For a while I couldn't buy melatonin for instance, as this was prohibited at the time if I recall it correctly.

what reasons did they give for confiscatiing them ? and maybe ask them what criteria would enable you to obtain them so that they wont be confiscated in future ? In view of your health challenges .

Because they were meds and there are no criteria at all, they just say: you are not allowed to import medications. End of story. And meds are outrageously expensive in the Netherlands IMO. I paid between 35 and 40 euros for 20 grammes of corticosteroid cream.
