Bringing natural health supplements into Hong Kong?

Question

I will be travelling to Hong Kong next week.

I need about 50 pills each day (vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino-acids, etc...) and intend to bring with me a 2-week supply of these supplements.

Will I encounter a problem when entering the country? Do I need to bring a letter from my naturopath (these are NOT prescription pharmaceuticals)?

Last, and most important, do I need to bring each product in its original bottle (that's a LOT of bottles), or can I prepare daily doses as I normally do and just bring each day's dose in a plastic bag?

All information is very much appreciated.

Hi Neo, just put everything in your suitcase not carry on(few is ok) and you will have no problems at all. I flew into HK with a suitcase full of vitamins and supplements and no one cared. No paper work needed. Your going to love HK!!

You will not need any paper work. Just make sure that the bottles are unopen. Other they may ask questions
