Nutritional Supplements
Sarah K asked:


I am living in France and take a nutritional supplements. I brought enough with me for the first few months in my luggage, no problem, but now I’m out and I am hoping my mom can send me more via USPS.

However, I am worried about French customs and am unfamiliar with what is allowed and legal. I have heard if she just writes that it is a “gift” on the customs form, it won’t be bothered, but I am concerned that they’ll scan it and see pill bottles or something and it will be confiscated.

Help! Can anyone help me out with guidelines or advice?
