No package delivery to Indonesia

I'm still curious about possible restrictions on bringing vitamin supplements with me...I can't seem to find a definitive list or explanation about such restrictions (if any!).

I found a few lists, such as this one from FedEx , but otherwise it's only a comment on Facebook or on this forum. :unsure:

If you want vitamins and/supplements, best to bring them with you or have someone do it for you like a friend or family member coming across. I do not recommend having them shipping over. Otherwise customs will think you are trying to sell them. Yes this has happened to me before. While technically they might not be illegal, you can expect customs to flag them and hold on to them while they figure out how much they want to charge you.

However, do not have any CBD or prescriptions without a doctors note shipped over as that is illegal.

Even when my dad had sent over my univ books and a few shirts, there were issues due to customs changing their minds and wanting everything listed.
 
I've got new one for you. My bank had to send me a new card because the old one was compromised online. Only used for one thing so be careful with Air Canada. Anyways, the packet arrived and I had to pay a tax before the post office would deliver. It wasn't much but what are they taxing? It's a debit card and listed as a document. I have received them before but never paid a tax on them. Practially everything that comes from out of country is going to have fees involved.

Pff, my bank sent a new creditcard to me in Indonesia. Waiting, waiting. 1 months passed. Never arrived. Called the bank to send me another one. The call cost me 15 euro. Waiting waiting, 1 month passed. Never arrived. Again I called the bank. The call cost me 15 euro. Waiting waiting, 1 month passed. Never arrived. Had to arrange that family could sent the card to me by DHL. And DHL cost me 60 euro, but I got the card in 3 days. I could trace and track and I noticed the envelop was opened by customs.

Yeah, I paid $50 on the US side but they still stuck me with more here. Could make you wonder if someone in customs is selling the numbers. Both of my cards that have come through customs were compromised in a short time and I almost never use them.
