Importing to Australia

**p0ppins** · 11-16-2011, 04:47 AM

Hey im just wondering if anyone has any tips for importing gear into australia?
I just moved here so dont know any local sources and i was thinking that buying online might be the only option.
I've heard the customs here are really strict tho, any advice would be great.
Thanks

Thanks

whoever that provides you info about importing gears into australia must be a dumbass! who would risk revealing how they get through customs? that being said, the chances are like 1%, so why risk ordering online and waiting in fear about whether your order will ever arrive or a seizure letter will arrive instead? look around a local gym and i'm sure someone will hook you up if you get to know them well.

Couldn't agree more..

On another note.... you can get gear from a store called Woolworths ! check it out

Good luck buddy. I hear it's damn near impossible down there. I do hear there are a few good domestic sources down there. Go check out some source boards, Im sure you'll find one bro.

There are companys/sites that get it in with no problems at all just takes a while as they have to package it differently. Between my mates and I we have got about 7 or 8 orders through without a problem. But it takes generally about a month to get through and there is alot of dodgy sites out there.

Well first of all the AFP most likely patrol this forum, so my best advice is do not do it.

Common sense will also tell you, vials, amps, tablets and any anything that is easily seen on x-ray increases your chances of getting done. I know 3+ people who have been caught, not worth the risk IMO.

Staying local is always the best choice and worth the wait to find someone.

not worth the money to import and more than likely get them taken off you. you will find quite a few people using gear around surfers paradise, just find a local source.

I was going to post something similar....Customs in Australia is tough,,,not bullett proof,,,but they stop alot of stuff.
Even when it comse to non AAS items they are still strict.

Seizures of importations of AAS into Australia have risen exponentially in the last 5 years. The focus of Customs drug related operations has always been on coke, meth, hammer etc but they have recently introduced new protocols for AAS and they seem to be working according to recent statistics. Import at your own risk.

I've heard oral steroids can be brought in with ease but seems like with injectables and such that it's just easier to try and find someone in a local gym as someone said earlier

If you had a bottle that had some anti-inflammatory pills in it or something you could put orals into that and you'd probably get away with it. But anything resembling a vial that shows up on the xray will lead to a full inspection.
