There’s a lot of conflicting information online, about how strict Japan is when it comes to importing supplements (both for the type of supplements and amounts). I have previously shipped via iHerb without issues, but this time I am planning to ship a specific item from Indian retailer, and since it’s rather expensive, I would like to make sure it reaches me (no delivery insurance is available).
Anyone has first hand experience, in shipping supplements from abroad, and which service did you use (EMS/DHL), any issues going through customs?
Thanks in advance.

If it’s a retailer, rather than a private sender, there’s every chance they have experience shipping to Japan. So they may have their own system. I would say avoid DHL if possible because that’s the only deliverer I’ve had issues with re: unexpected fees and problems, but that’s just anecdotal. Stick to no more than 3 months’ supply and you should be good.
