Just thought I would make folks aware that if you are shipping prescription medication in your container, you will need a letter from your doctor stating that the meds are indeed prescribed meds and that you need them. Apparently it doesn't matter if the bottles are properly labled.

I only discovered this when I was filling out my custom forms and asked my movers, Allied Pickfords here in NZ, about items I had ticked yes to.

Kind of a pain and would have liked to have know that before leaving the States and my US docs that actually prescribed the meds. Fortunately, I have a very nice OB here that did the letter for me.

I cant remember what we did now, but some did come over in my parents container. As did a rather large quantity of OTC meds (have you seen the price of Ibuprofen over here??????)

Also, my parents were actually posting meds for my brother over. According to Royal Mail it would never get through - but the custom form was filled in correctly - and noone even opened the boxes!

But even though we dont seem to have need it - it is a good idea to make sure you have some written proof that you need meds. From the uK, either a recent prescription or even the repeat order slip from the back of the script seems to do the trick.

I packed the repeat order script but it wasn't needed or checked. :D

We got loads of repeats before we got here of our meds. Put it on the customs from, just gave them our print out from our GP saying what meds we were one. They never even looked at them.

Wish I had brought more
