Melbourne Supplements to bring in to Melbourne Airport
Posted: Wed February 25, 2009 09:45 AM UTC
I will be travelling from Malaysia to Melbourne this May for 2 weeks holidays. Can I bring in my own supplements to Australia such as vitamin C tablets, Ginkgo Bilova tablets, cod liver oil in capsules, multivitamins in capsules and evening primrose oil in capsules for the purpose of my own daily intake only? I have read the rules and regulations on what not to bring in to Australia but it did not say anything on supplements. Just want to be sure about this. Can anyone advise me on this?

G"day there
wellcome to Melbourne
realy its hard to answer your question!!!!!
its all depends on the Quarantine list .
when you come to Melbourne airport you have to declare what you got and then fellow the RED line and then the Customs tell you what you can take and what not.
P.S
a few years ago i bought Clove from Dubai duty free shop,i was able to take it in ,last year bough Clove as well and i wasn't able to bring it in
here please the web site for the Quarantine ,you can email them
enjoy your stay in Melbourne
Cheers

supplements should be no problem to bring into Melbourne, i cant image why they wouldn't be as you can buy them here.

the only reason you couldn't is if they contain an endangered species (ie: something with rino horn) or some stronger drugs (ie: containing large amounts of codeine).

if in doubt just stop off at any chemist or health food store (should be one in every shopping center)they will sell most/all those things.

PS: so long as you declare everything to customs you will never get in trouble.
