Flying layover in Germany?

[beakdoctor]

Im flying internationally and have a stop in Munich Germany.  Ive taken sll sorrs of pills medications with me over the years but never overseas. Everything im bringing is legal or prescribed. However i'm Hearing that German customs is particularly strict and will confiscate/cite/arrest first and ask questions later....

Anyone have experience with this?

Flown dozens of times to Germany- just have a prescription for any drugs and you'll be fine. You may still get delayed but no biggie

Thanks...

What about multi vitamins/supplements etc.... not being slick seriously just over the counter stuff but in one of those MTWTFSS pill boxes? I have no proof that it's over the counter other than its general appearance and relying on their common sense.

Think that would cause problems?

Your anadrol will get through as long as you have the doctor prescribed label on the bottle. HTH

Just tell them your father is a goat herder and that the meds are for his goats.  It worked for Tom Hanks.

You'll be fine. Up until very recently, I was flying loads. Visited Germany last year briefly, too. Because I was always away for months, I'd have loads of medicines: codeine painkillers for a dodgy back, zolpidem to knock myself out on long flights, boxes of antibiotics in case I got sick somewhere remote, etc. I've never been searched or questioned anywhere. Germany wasn't any different.

POS TSA confiscated a can of shaving cream from me.

Depends on who is working customs that day. My biz partner was stopped 3 times for carrying a bunch of vitamins - at the same terminal in Berlin. I was pulled aside in Korea for beef jerky, lol

Really? Fuck, maybe I've always just been incredibly fortunate. I've been to Berlin a few times and never had that happen. I forgot, I did get stopped and messed around for ages in Jordan when I was carrying a bunch of handheld GPS devices. Always had lots of loose strips of antihistamines, painkillers, etc., in hand luggage and never been questioned.

Thanks for the responses.

So what's the worst that can happen if you have prescription meds but not in the bottle or you have b complex and they don't believe you? Confiscate?

I travel all the time but this is my first time going to Europe.

Also just a little paranoid TSA completely screwed my wife a couple of years ago. She had a fingernail file  in her pursethat they deemed a knife and citedher for something ridiculous like 2000 dollars BUT she could plea responsible and settle it with a 400 dollar fee. Which she did of course.

Have you thought of jerking off or getting laid

Masturbation is murder, Calvin. I prefer to take my little guys on holidays.

I've been to Germany many times over the past several decades. Always flew in to Frankfurt.  I take my prescription meds and non-prescription supplements with me since I generally stay for anywhere from a week to a month. Be sure all your meds are in their original pharmacy provided containers. German customs did have not ever question me about them. Also, it is best to get them filled ahead of time so you won't need to do this in Germany.

One thing you need to understand which might help is that most Germans are deathly afraid of making a mistake and being seen to be wrong, so there is s real culture (especially in bureaucracy) of passing the buck.

In real world terms, this usually translates to an "I don't give a shit" attitude - especially if they don't know what to do.

You should be fine. German customs is very often not even there. I got back from a short trip to the UK last week and just walked straight out of the airport - didn't see anyone in uniform checking anything.

There's a small chance you might get one of those frustrated policeman types too - but I really doubt it.

You should go out for drinks and black prostitutes with Anabolichalo.

My experience with going through customs in Germany at the Frankfurt Airport verses going thru customs at any airport in the U.S. is like night and day. Like you said customs in Germany is a breeze. In contrast, LAX customs took hours to get through. Not only that, English was not the first language for most of the  customs employees. It's been many years since I've been through customs at LAX, but it was annoying and weird to be treated like cattle in one's own country by customs workers who could barely speak English and looked like foreigners.

If that was true I'd be serving consecutive life sentences at a Supermax prison if I already wasn't executed.
