After getting all my ducks in a row over the last couple of years (not easy during COVID), I'm looking forward to moving to Ubud in July.

I would like to bring a number of supplements and medicines that are legal here in Australia, but I'm not sure about Indonesia.

Does anyone know if there is a proper, published list of prohibited substances?

Thanks. See all you denizens soon!

Cheers

I've heard tht things like supplements are not a problem and of course they are widely available in Indonesia, but medicines might require a letter from a GP. They also should not include any banned substances that might be accepted in other countries whereas in Indonesia would be considered as drugs and result in severe penalties irrespective of whether they are medicines or not. No idea about where to get that list of prohibited substances but you can probably find it online.
