Hi,

Im leaving the country to go to greece for 6 months, and don't want to waste the powder i have got here. I have already joined a gym out there which is very good in-terms of free weights ect..so can still benefit from taking the extra protein.

Do you know what the script is with packing it in my suitcase in bags (might look dodgy) ha. Im going to greece btw.

cheers.

You might want to take the label from the bottle and pack it with it in one bundle.

Yes that would be wise, cheers mate.

Im guessin they'll search it, test it, have sniffer dogs on it ect..ha...Good idead though, il mix both them together and include both labels. I doubt there anything illegal in them as it wouldnt be sold right?

I would take it in the official container, with all the labelling on if at all possible.

it'd waste a lot of space/weight.

What's the use by date on it? It might be an idea to leave it at home then buy some out there. As PP said, it'd take up space and weight so you may even have to pay extra to take it.

Actually you have be very careful, because although you may just view it as whey protein, others will not. Try to find out if it is banned on the Greek customs list, probably find it from their website.

Take it in a plastic bag, but stick the label from the tub on it and hide it between towels in your suitcase.
