General Nutrition Stores Canada
Posted in Health and Nutrition on 02/07/2011 08:46 am by Steven NerenbergIs it ok to bring vitamins/nutrition supplements when travelling from Canada to the USA?
Hello,
I will be travelling in a few days by plane to the USA from Canada, I’m staying for 2 weeks, I was wondering about this question.
I’m into working out fitness and such and take a few supplements, vitamins, creatine, whey protein, that’s basically it. But I’m always worried because you always hear about how in the USA they are so very, very, worried about anything that has anything to do with drugs and if you have some sort of pills with you they’ll confiscate them and interrogate you for 8 hours etc. etc. Is this just a stereotype kind of view? Or will I get in trouble for bringing such things with me?
I thought I’d just take what I need for a couple weeks in a bag in my checked luggage,. It’s all just general stuff you could buy at a store, but is this allowed to transport such things or will I get into trouble or have it confiscated? Thank you,
Hi, as long as your vitamins and supplements are clearly marked (are small sizes) and in your checked luggage, you shouldn’t have a problem. I would definately not carry them on the plane. The customs people take any and all items they deem hazardous, and yes if they think you are bringing in drugs they will interrogate you (among other things if they feel its warranted) So don’t take it lightly. Another option for you may be to buy what you need in the US (probably cheaper) since your going to be away for 2 wks. Further to that you can call your airline directly and ask what they advise. Hope this helped and have a great trip.
