Binax home Covid 19 test kit: would customs let it in?

[Emdog]

US FDA approved a home test kit, available now at shops or by mail order. If I were to order the kit, would it be allowed in for me to use? I see Walgreens had packet of two tests for about $24. Covid home test kit

I would just try it. I ordered some test kits for something else and they made it through..

I was sent a number of test kits from the UK, where they are free. No problem with customs. But they did take 10 days to get here.

OK, thanks

Have someone buy them.  Place them in a regular envelop or small bubble-wrap envelop and send via First Class International.  Label the customs ticket as "marketing samples."  You'll probably get them.

If anyone has any extra please send me a personal message.

do you really think that any customs in the world can check more than 5% of any incoming mail ?

so of course they won't see it, especially if you are someone smart enough to understand that you should not use any courier snitches companies that tax people on behalf of customs.

Don't use a courier! Especially as it will get ripped open and stuck in customs as has happened to me twice via a well known german company. Use post office ems track and trace which is very reliable and takes about 7 days

so you needed 2 parcels stopped by rats in uniform to finally understand how stupid it is to use any courier, especially the DHL nazis ?!
