Q: Importing medication from USA
I am planning on importing some weight loss medication from the USA for personal use, 4 bottles each containing 90 capsules. They will be bought directly from a reputable online retailer and shipped to China. Will they face any issues at customs?
I have read some importing guides and so far all I can see is that I would need a "Medical Inspection Certificate", is that for personal use or just if I were importing bulk to re-sell on the local market.
Any ideas?

You don't need any of that just ship it in the box and it should be fine..
Quite possibly. There are random checks at customs. For example, they may poke holes in imported milk cartons and make them lose their freshness, and they "test" some of them. Anything to hurt foreign companies.
Imported products also carry a bit of a risk: at certain walmarts, imported pre-natal vitamins are opened and replaced with others. Check the pucking seals on it before you do anything.
If you're ordering steroids, or any other illegal drugs, you will be in hot water, and you will be investigated and possibly executed. So as long as you're not hiding anything illegal, you'll run into fewer hassles than you could.
I did get the pills without issue, let the weight loss begin! They are Venom Hyperdrive 3.0 for anyone interested, I had them before about 5 years ago before I came to china, possibly the strongest stuff on the market.
