If you get the wrong person at the border, maybe one who just doesn't like your face, they have the power to make your life miserable at the slightest excuse - or 'just because'.

😝 could it be mistaken for some other illegal substance . you do not want pulling up when they think you are a drugs courier [dan193]

If you need protein powder I would suggest you buy it in the country you are visiting to avoid any possible problems.

You might want to be mindful of what you carry and the border(s) you cross. Ask the WNBA star currently being held in Russia.

why would it be a problem?

they thought my ibuprofen was crack cocaine so probably

Why didn't you put them in condoms and swallowing them like any other innocent protein enthusiast?

Or shove them up your keister like the hardcore protein enthusiasts?

Yes

Won't that depend on which country you are entering from which, and whether the powder is clearly innocent?

I wouldn't bother

It went alright for me. It was creatine powder.

I wouldn't risk it personally.

which border?

Just declare it and you should be ok unless some of its ingredients are banned in the country you are entering 🙂

They'll sic the dogs on you if you have a Muslim name.

lets see a powder in a open container going across the border.. really and ya have to ask these people .. throw it away.. gheesh ..or do the other choice and maybe just maybe you will go to jail till it is tested and that might take a week or month.. so ya go ahead and carry a open container of powder.. let us know how it goes .. i could use a laugh.. mark

Just declare it
