Helios Posted October 3, 2010 at 06:01 AM Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 at 06:01 AM Is it possible to have prescription ADHD medication mailed to China? If so, what is the protocol to do this legally? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdavid Posted October 3, 2010 at 07:39 AM Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 at 07:39 AM I've had medication sent to me in the past. We didn't do anything special, we just ensured the packaging was clearly marked in the contents section: "prescription medication". Also, the package may be opened and inspected. When they do this, they'll call the number on the package (make sure whoever is mailing stuff to you puts down your mobile number). When they call you, they'll want your passport number. They may also ask what the medication is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted October 3, 2010 at 01:52 PM Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 at 01:52 PM Slightly on topic: are there any drugs that are common and legal in the USA and/or Europe, but are illegal (and enforced) in China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiaocai Posted October 4, 2010 at 11:03 AM Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 at 11:03 AM No that I am aware of. Psychoactive drugs are under strict control but not banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Dream Posted March 20, 2012 at 12:42 PM Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 at 12:42 PM bumping this thread. It covers exactly what I wanted to ask. I'm having my mom send me a two-month supply with some other things in a care package (the script would be from my doctor in my name). wondering if there would be any issues with doing this? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Dream Posted April 20, 2012 at 07:25 AM Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 at 07:25 AM Here's an update on my situation. My mom sent me this package as stated above on March 27. According to usps tracker it arrived on April 2 in PRC and was processed through sort facility. That is the last update it gives. And well folks I still haven't received it. Does anyone know what could be happening and whether I still might receive the package. I told her to do the things that KDavid described. At the moment USPS is looking into it. Smartly, my mom purchased insurance, but we both stll really want this package to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted April 20, 2012 at 12:45 PM Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 at 12:45 PM #6 -- I had some prescription medication go missing last year in the post (US to China.) Never found it. Could trace it to a regional sorting center (in Chengdu) and then it disappeared into thin air. Probably abducted by aliens for their personal use. Experience seems to vary on this. Most times people report medication comes through just fine, but mine didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
