Can you carry medicines in hand luggage to or from Taiwan?

Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no prohibitions on carrying medications in the cabin of an airplane to/from Taiwan. But to avoid questions, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.

Taiwan's border control and other countries monitor the import of medications into the territory, and here is what is important to remember so that your items in the baggage compartment and on your person do not provoke unnecessary suspicions:

• Medicines for yourself. It is permissible to transport the necessary amount for the period of stay.
• Keep in original packaging. This is the main condition. Blisters, jars, and instructions must be factory-made. Loose pills in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially for powerful action, psychotropic or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or a doctor's note, stamped. It is advisable to have it translated into English. This will confirm that the drugs are intended for your own needs, not for sale.

Also remember the key rule for carrying in hand luggage: it is prohibited to transport liquid substances in containers over 100 milliliters in hand luggage, which also includes cream-like products, ointments, toothpaste, and similar items. If you have such with your medications, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, do not overdo it with the quantity and weight of medications, so as not to unintentionally exceed the permitted limits for carrying in the cabin according to your airplane ticket. Most often, it is allowed to transport items in the cabin of an airplane with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this limit may vary among different carriers and for specific tariffs, so check this issue with your airline ticket before the flight.
