Testosterone is a Class C controlled drug under the UK Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and prescription-only medicine. Travelers may carry a 3-month personal supply for valid medical need with the original prescription; declare to UK Border Force on arrival. Quantities above 3 months require Home Office personal-import licence; possession without prescription is prosecutable. Enforcement in United Kingdom carries fines from GBP 250 to GBP 20,000 under Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 s.78, s.170 (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Leaving United Kingdom with testosterone is a separate question — restricted: Testosterone is a controlled anabolic steroid; personal export from United Kingdom requires the prescription and stays within personal-use limits.
