  • Doctor's letter on clinic letterhead confirming personal use, medicine names, dosage, and up to 3-month supply
  • Original prescription copy with patient name, medicine name, quantity, and doctor's signature
  • Sealed original manufacturer packs โ€” South Africa customs requires intact labels and batch numbers
  • Commercial invoice listing all medicine names, quantities, and declared values
  • We prepare the customs declaration form confirming personal medical use, not commercial import

  • Expired medicines โ€” South Africa customs checks expiry dates
  • Loose tablets or powders without manufacturer labels โ€” only sealed original packs accepted
  • Rx medicines without prescription or doctor's letter โ€” customs will hold and investigate
  • Very large quantities suggesting commercial intent โ€” personal use 3-month limit is strictly observed
