Question regarding carrying nutritional supplements to KSA

Post new topic

maximusx

Hi everyone,

I haven't written any introductory post about myself yet (assuming it'd be ideal when I get to KSA).

I've seen that nutritional supplements are more expensive in KSA than here in India. I already have a stock of 5-6 months and I'd like to know if there would be any problem to carry them over when I get there.

My question is concerned with any limitations by customs at the airport, such as providing a bill for all the items, and/or specific supplements that are not allowed to be carried.

Thank you for your time.

NOTE - These are sports nutrition supplements, and have nothing to do with certain drugs in bodybuilding (if you know what I'm talking about).
