UK Issues - Import???
Need some help navigating the UK issues.
I have done some research and clearly it appears that there is a difference of opinion on what is legal or perhaps "allowed" within the UK in terms of AAS.
I would like to import some gear from abroad for my own personal use.
Anyone with any actual experience, or is it all just things that a friend has experienced?
Real experience appreciated greatly.

if its only for your personal use ,the only way your getting your gear taken is if it gets caught in customs ive had several packages come from abroad and its been fine the whole time.as long as you trust your source

you can bring gear back for personal use mate,do a search on customs laws to do with drugs,i used to have a link that told you the exact amount that you can bring back legally,having said that i know someone who has brought back a suitcase full and got stopped and was let through by customs.....

You can't import ANYTHING for personal use without a prescription. AAS are a controlled substance in the UK.
If you get a script either here (UK) or abroad you're safe.
Be lucky!

It is not illegal to have AAS for you own personal use. I live in the UK and have imported thousands of £ worth of gear overt the years without any problems.

THE LAW
Anabolic steroids are Prescription Only drugs under the Medicines Act. They can only be sold by a pharmacist on the presentation of a doctor's prescription.Anabolic steroids are also class C drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act. It is not an offence to possess anabolic steroids for personal use, unless they are counterfeit. It is an offence to supply them. Therefore police tend to arrest for steroid possession only if they can prove the drugs are counterfeit (and therefore not prescribed by a doctor). A small number of arrests and convictions are made on this basis each year.
read this how you wish but when i spoke to customs i was told that i could bring back a certain amount for personal use to which i also have a letter somewhere at home which i will dig out if i am allowee in the house this weekend......................_____________________

I have used AS from sent overseas with no problems. I've used domestic and international sources with no issues at all. Just dont start importing thousands of pounds worth of AS from overseas.
Domestic...Well, thats a different story.

My mate is going to Thailand over Xmas, is it true that you can buy AS over the counter and im assuming he would be safe bringing them home or even posting them?

I'd advise you to ask around as prices vary greatly...I've heard.

Hey Booz, this seems to be a grey area. I accessed this quote from the link in your post.
I've bolded the important part i.e. 'unlikely to be prosecuted'. It doesn't say your immune from prosecution. I'd still say beware, especially if importing. I brought my gear back from India down my pants!
'Anabolic Steroids are controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act as class C drugs but their legal status is complicated. In most situations the possession offence is waived meaning that people who possess or use steroids without a prescription are unlikely to be prosecuted. However, in some areas of the UK police have successfully prosecuted people for possession of steroids when the steroids have not been in the form of a medicinal product. It is always an offence to sell or supply steroids to another person. People can also be prosecuted for possession with intent to supply if they have large quantities of steroids without a prescription for them.'

Cheers Booz. It's funny, I felt like the guy from Midnight Express on my way through customs. Looks like I didn't need to sweat it. Lol.
