Importing (prescription) drugs for personal use, and..

It2VN

Could someone advise or point me in the direction of official guidance on whether some items I would like to take with me are permitted or not for importation.

I use almost nightly Delorazepam drops for sleep. Also where does ibuprofen stand?

Also, non-drug related, can one import processed food items in jars and bottles (which might be difficult to find in VN)?

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately the forum search feature no longer makes it easy for me to share the MANY posts where these subjects have been discussed.


Simplifying:


1. Vietnam's import laws are very restrictive, especially for prescription medications and ESPECIALLY for any type of controlled medication or narcotic.


2. Unfortunately, most social media respondents will tell you they never have a problem bringing such items into Vietnam.


Please use AI (Grok AI, Google Gemini AI, etc) to get the absolute truth translated into English.


Unless, of course, you were looking for answer #2...

Thanks, OB. Will delve deeper then.

I've heard that IT will be working on improving members "Activity history" search results. I certainly hope so, as it is currently not of much help.


It2VN , you can take . Hope that helps.

Available at most all pharmacies. No problem.
