International price comparison — my results so far

Denials are usually procedural rather than clinical, and the order that works reflects that.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.

Living somewhere the domestic route does not exist, which makes most of the advice on this board inapplicable to me.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from a UK pharmacy. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 7-14 days
Customs clearance: smooth, no issues
Quality: Janoshik tested at 97.0% purity

International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle it.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

What actually works on a prior-authorisation denial, as opposed to the list of things that sound like they should work?

Reporting back.

Follow-up — getting the denial reason in writing was the step that mattered. It named the criterion, and the criterion was a document I already had.
