Confused about Tongkat (german customs, quality,...)
Original post in this thread

I have been researching Tongkat Ali for hours now, because it seems to be a very interesting substance to address hormonal issues that contribute to depression and fatigue, and the conclusion does seem to be NootropicsDepot Tongkat Ali seems to be about the best you can get.
Generally the transparency and dedication to quality in ND in seems to be quite unparalled on the nootropic market.
I would like to try the 10% tablets which apparently cause less nausea than the 2% ones and can be split if they are too strong.
My main issue is that I am a bit afraid of customs.
Some suppliers don't even send Tongkat to Germany anymore because of customs issues, and in general it seems ND does have some custom issues with Germany.
If the risk is like 10% I would take it, but if it's likely to not go through and I would lose my purchase that would suck indeed, I don't have much money and I am spending a lot on substances already.
I don't know if maybe there is a acceptable reshipping service, but it seems there are many issues there as well😕.
Another option would be to find another "OK" supplier that ships from europe, but honestly I find it hard to judge, from what I read in NDs tests…

Oh, thanks for answering personally, that's what I call great service.👍
It's quite confusing, seems you can't really easily predict the way customs will act based on any publically available information, but seems overall the risk for seizure is relatively low, unless something is classified as a pharmaceutical.
I am excited to try some of your products, I am really impressed with your methodology and transparency, and I am sure there's some products that would benefit me, just need to prioritize a bit on what's most likely to help me.

It is really difficult to predict. Even we have trouble because it always changes. If we were regularly having significant problems with a product to a specific country, we would restrict shipping there. The last think we want is for customers to have their orders seized. You can see we won't ship phenibut to Australia or Ireland anymore for that reason.
Let me know how you react to things when you try them!
