Full details

Commercially packaged protein powder and sports supplements can be brought into the US without restrictions for personal use. FDA does not restrict personal dietary supplement imports. Check with destination customs authority for current regulations before traveling or shipping. Rules change frequently and enforcement varies.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Personal-quantity protein powder clears as a food supplement. Sealed retail packaging preferred; bulk / loose powder may attract additional inspection.
