A definition problem is doing most of the work in this personal import allowances discussion. Once the term is pinned down I suspect the disagreement mostly goes away and what is left is small.

What I would check first on personal import allowances is whether the thing being measured moved or whether the way of measuring it moved. Those look identical in a graph.

Coming back to the opening post, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Nothing here is legal advice, and in this subcategory that caveat is doing real work rather than sitting decoratively at the end.

IRenaudin, post #6: Import rules for personal quantities are jurisdiction-specific and change without much publicity. Establishing your own position is unavoidable. One case, stated as one case. Go to post

I read post #4 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

On personal import allowances, I would rather understate and be corrected upward than overstate and be quoted. That is a house style here and it is a good one.

Country-by-country legality: compound approval and legal status differ substantially by jurisdiction. Semaglutide approved in the United States and European Union; tirzepatide approved in some but not all; retatrutide approved nowhere yet (ongoing trials).
