International compounding regulations — looking for input

International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas: Held at customs…

Same pattern here, and in the same order. Nothing to add that would improve it.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. Posting only so the count is not one.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions. Agreeing that something happens says nothing about whether it happens enough to act on.

Worth separating that from compounded supply, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. Carry on.
