[andypaul]

Thanks guys. im only taking like multivitamins +iron,fish oil,
cod liver oil and vitamins for kids...i bougth it in boots .2 dozens and 90 capsules each.our stop is in UAE.im raveling with my daugther.should i mix it in one bottle or shall i leave it as it is?thanks again guys.

If they in boots containers with the seals intact then i cant see the harm.

But if you get x rayed dont be surprised if some customs person asks you at least some questions regarding them.

But im sure others take vitamins with them. I have taken head ache pills in the foil packs you get and head no problems but never though UAE (never been there).

Cant see there being a problem with vitamins and minerals, just customs checking possibly that they are what you say they are

It's not IF, ALL checked luggage are x-rayed by customs at ALL international airports when they get out of the plane and enter the luggage system (in particular is our western airports, but also in Manila). This explain sometimes why we are waiting the luggage ... a long time...
If it's to be inspected, they add a discrete marking.
As well as carry-on at the arrival but with your presence; but not in Manila (Terminal 1)!

Medicine transportation is submitted to special rules to avoid (or limit) trafficking (to be checked with leaving and arriving countries rules).
