I've got a bit of a problem... I've been out of Taiwan for a while and I'm coming back in a week or so, and I'm bringing with me a years supply of homeopathic medicine...
Although this medicine is in fairly uninteresting brown bottles, it really looks a little too much like small balls of cocaine or whatever for my liking.
Australia doesn’t much care if I take them out of the country, but I’m concerned about getting them into Hong Kong, and then Taiwan. I mean, it can always be explained, but I don’t think too many people know what 順勢療法 looks like, let alone the grunts working at CKS airport. I’ve never tried bringing anything like this in before, so I’d really appreciate any help/suggestions. :?
I brought in bags of stuff, including little plastic capsules full of generic looking ground-up herbs (it’s feverfew, 'kay? ). No one even looked at it as far as I know. I did write what it was on the Ziploc bags, but …
What happens if they DO choose to dig through your bags, I don’t know. But considering you can buy codeine at Watson’s…anyway, the good folks here told me not to worry when I posted about this issue myself, and they seem to have been proven correct.
The answer is Yes, you can bring in your personal drugs here. I have been doing this a lot of time, in and out Taipei without any problem. My sister once visited Taipei with a bag of medicines together with several surgical instruments (she’s a doctor) and she went through the green line “safely”.
Always take the red line and declare if you’re not sure, though, and bring a prescription of those you bring in with you.
