Don Anomino Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Technically, you need a permit from COFEPRIS that is supposed to accompany each and every shipment. It's called a Permiso Sanitario de Importación de Medicamentos Destinados a Uso Personal. Start here with this link: http://www.cofepris.gob.mx/TyS/Paginas/Importacion-de-Productos-para-Consumo-Personal.aspx COFEPRIS is Mexico's Federal Commission for Protection Against Health Risks. This agency mandates that Mexican Customs (Aduana) seize any package sent through the Mexican Post Office containing medications, or medical equipment or devices, that is not accompanied by the permit mentioned above. That said, lots of shipments whose contents are labeled "Supplements" seem to make it through when sent via the Post Office; almost never when sent via a courier service like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. Good luck, -- Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Ronnfeldt Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Tracey, what many of us do is stock up when we travel NOB. If you can find someone going up, you can have some things shipped to their US destination and carried down with them. I'm flying up in April.

John Galt Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 We may be able to bring something back for you as we will be flying back & forth this month. Depends on what you need and how much. PM me. You may not want the whole world to have this info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
